serves 6-8
1 box of Penne or Ziti Pasta
1 (15 oz.) tub of ricotta cheese
1 (32 oz.) jar of favorite spaghetti sauce
3 cups of mozzarella cheese (divided)
1/4 to 1/2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
1 beaten egg
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine beaten egg, ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce, and Italian seasoning. Add this mixture to the pasta and stir to incorporate. Pour pasta and cheese mixture into a 13 x 9 pan sprayed with baking spray. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over the pasta and spread across the top. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan or Romano cheese over the top. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving. This freezes well before baking too.
