Baked Ziti ... mmm cheesy!


I love, love, love pasta and it is even better with cheese! So I love this baked pasta and it's super easy.

Boil pasta and drain.  Chop up the mozzarella into roughly diced bits.  Shredded works great too, but I like the bigger pieces.  Return pasta to pot, turn heat on low, stir in the ricotta cheese, and the mozzarella, then add in the pasta sauce.  Pour mixture into a 9x11 baking pan and smooth it out.  top with the shredded cheese.  Bake in 350-400 degree oven until cheese on top is melted and slightly brown.
