Categories     casserole     pasta recipe

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb dry ziti or penne pasta (whole grain or organic)
1 15- ounce container of part-skim ricotta cheese (drain excess liquid)
1 large egg
½ cup grated parmesan cheese (can also use grated romano cheese)
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
pinch of crushed red pepper
3 - 4 cups spaghetti sauce (homemade or high-quality jarred sauce)
2 cups shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bring a 5-6 quart pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 5 minutes. The pasta should still have a bite to it after it cooks. This helps keep the pasta from getting mushy.
  • Drain the pasta and rinse. Place the pasta into a 9 x13 baking dish.
  • Mix ricotta cheese, egg, romano or parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the crushed red pepper if you're using it.
  • Mix the ricotta cheese mixture and spaghetti sauce in with the pasta. Start with 3-cups of sauce and add more if you need to. The pasta should be covered with sauce and cheese mixture.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella over the top of the pasta mixture.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 55 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and the baked ziti is bubbling on the sides.
