I'm raising a group of pasta sweethearts! I swear, my significant other and my 3 young men could eat some assortment of spaghetti, pesto rotelle, or fettuccini Alfredo each and every night of the week. Be that as it may, guess what? Prepared Ziti has never been on my go-to list… up to this point.
I just constantly expected that Baked Ziti was somewhat similar to lasagna — a ton of prep work, different advances included, and a huge amount of filthy dishes toward the end. Off-base!
I didn't know how the cheddar blend would set up in the broiler as the pasta heated in the marinara sauce, and I was completely arranged to waste the last item and attempt again on the off chance that it wasn't an underlying achievement.
- 1 16 ounce package uncooked ziti pasta
- 1 24 ounce jar marinara sauce
- 3 cups water
- 16 ounces 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of pepper
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Spray a large baking dish (about 9 x 13-inches) with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, stir together uncooked ziti, marinara sauce, and water. Ladle half of the ziti mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour cottage cheese mixture over the pasta in an even layer.
- Top with remaining pasta and sauce mixture.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Uncover and stir gently. At this point you should check the pasta to make sure that it is al dente (firm but just about finished cooking). If it’s still too hard, cover the dish and return to the oven until pasta is al dente. Then move on to the next step.
- Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and bake uncovered for 5-10 more minutes (or until cheese is melted and pasta is tender).
