Baked Ziti

You’ll need:

• 1-lb of meatballs
• 4-6 cups of sauce
• 1-lb of ricotta drained of the liquid
• 1-lb of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4-cup of grated Romano cheese
• 1-lb of ziti cooked just a little more than half way done

   

Directions:

1. In a large bowl crush the meatballs and add the sauce, 3/4 lb if ricotta, 1/2 lb of mozzarella and half the Romano cheese. Mix this all together.
2. Add the pasta and mix together well.
3. Pour this into a baking dish and top with remaining ricotta, Romano and mozzarella.
4. Bake in a 350 degree pre heated oven for 30 minutes with a loose piece of foil on top.
5. Remove the foil and bake 15 minutes longer. Look for bubbling sides. Remove, let rest for 5 min, then serve.

I like extra sauce so I use the 6-cups, if you like less sauce use the 4-cups.
