Crazy Baked Ziti

By: Krista From Everyday Mom's Meals

Krista From Everyday Mom's Meals gives us one of the best baked homemade pasta recipes we've ever tasted. Made with Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Ricotta cheese, this cheesy delight is perfect for any day of the week. Baked to perfection, you're going to love it.

Ingredients

1 pound ziti, cooked al dente
1 jat of spaghetti sauce
16 ounces Ricotta cheese
8 ounces Mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon oregano, plus extra for garnish
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 9x13 pan and add enough sauce to cover bottom.
Once pasta is cooked, drain well and return to pot. Add remaining sauce, ricotta and mozzarella.
To the beaten egg, add oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well. (I find adding the spices to the egg really gets them distributed throughout the entire dish).
Add egg to pasta mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour into baking dish, top with Parmesan, and sprinkle w/ extra oregano. Cover with foil and bake for 45-55 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

This recipe is very simple and delicious! It is a really quick way to have a last minute dinner on a week night. The whole family loved it. I did use some homemade spaghetti sauce, but other than that, I followed the directions. We will definitely be having this again!

I usually add Parmesan cheese and egg directly to the ricotta cheese when I'm making lasagna, but lasagna is a lot more work than ziti, so I just made this the way the recipe says. It's very good, not quite as good as lasagna, but given how easy it is, it will be a regular in my recipe rotation!
