Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ziti
  • 3 cups marinara
  • 15 oz ricotta
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp basil chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and cook the ziti until just shy of al dente.
  2. Mix the ricotta with the egg, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Toss the drained pasta with marinara.
  4. Layer half the pasta in a baking dish, spread the ricotta over it, then add the rest of the pasta.
  5. Top with mozzarella and bake 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  6. Sprinkle with basil and rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Slightly undercook the pasta so it doesn't turn mushy in the oven.
