Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 lb Ziti or Mostaccioli 2 (32 oz) Jars Spaghetti Sauce
- Pasta;, cooked and drained OR:
3 lb Ricotta (low-fat) 2 qt Italian Homemade Sauce
1 1/3 c Grated Parmesan Cheese

THIS IS VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE AND DO THE NIGHT BEFORE

Cook the ziti or mostaccioli pasta until al dente. Drain.

In a large roasting dish, spread a thin layer of sauce over the
bottom. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese. Soften the ricotta
cheese in Microwave by cooking on LOW (30%) for about 1-1/2 to 2
minutes.

Layer with half each of ziti, ricotta cheese, sauce, and half of
remaining Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers. Bake in a preheated 350F.
degree oven for approximately 1 hour. Let stand for 1/2 hour before
serving. NOTE: If making the night before, cover with plastic wrap.

DO NOT COVER WITH FOIL if dish is to be stored as the tomato mixture
reacts against the foil.

NOTE: Remove plastic wrap and cover with foil before baking.
