Ingredients
- 1 TBS garlic paste or minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes undrained
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 lb ziti uncooked
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a 9x13 baking dish, add garlic, spices, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, ricotta, and half and half. Mix together until well combined.
- Add pasta to mixture and stir until pasta is all coated. Use a rubber spatula to gently press pasta down into the dish so it is mostly covered.
- Cover with a double layer of aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
- Remove from oven and uncover.
- Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese and place back in the oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley
- Serve immediately warm.
Notes
- Cover leftovers with aluminum foil and reheat the entire dish or individual portions in an oven safe dish.
- Don’t drain the tomatoes, the extra juice with the tomatoes is essential to cooking the pasta to al dente.
- Do not pre-cook the pasta, it will fully cook in the pan. If you pre-cook, you’ll end up with baked pasta that’s dried out rather than perfectly cooked.
- Keep refrigerated and eat within three days for the best leftovers flavor.
