Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ziti (cooked and drained)
  • 1 jar (about 24 ounces spaghetti sauce)
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 6 ounces pepperoni (or other mix-in) (about 1 1/2 cups, chopped (reserve some for the top!))
  • 4 cups mozzarella cheese (divided into 1 cup and 3 cups)
  • optional: fresh basil for garnish

Instruction

  • In a large oven safe skillet or roasting pan (I like to use the same skillet I prepared the noodles in) combine ziti, spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, chopped pepperoni (or other mix-ins), and 3 cups mozzarella cheese.
  • Mix well, then top with remaining cup of mozzarella (and if using, pepperoni slices).
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • NOTE: If you're preparing a previously frozen dish or your noodles are cold, cover with foil and bake at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10 - 15.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and ENJOY!
