Ingredients
- 1 pound Ziti pasta cooked al dente according to package instructions, drained
- 4 links (about 1 pound) cooked Italian sausage sliced ½-inch thick
- 1 32-ounce jar marinara sauce
- 1 15-ounce container whole milk ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup each fresh basil and parsley leaves chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9x13 inch pan.
- In a large bowl, stir together the cooked ziti, sausage, and all but 1 cup of marinara sauce. Spread half of the ziti mixture in the bottom of your prepared pan.
- Spoon half of the ricotta and mozzarella evenly over the top. Top with the rest of the ziti mixture, then remaining ricotta, mozzarella, and reserved marinara sauce.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted. Sprinkle the basil and parsley over the ziti and serve warm.
Notes
- Flavor tip: for even more cheesy goodness, add 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese along with the mozzarella.
- Flavor tip: I like to use spicy Italian sausage in this recipe!
- Veg it up: add 1 cup packed baby spinach leaves along with the cheese for a delicious, nutritious boost!
