In a large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic, parsley and Italian seasoning to a large bowl and stir to combine well.
In a 9x13 baking dish, add half of the sauce and spread evenly all around the dish.

Notes

Use other pasta like rotini or rigatoni as well.
Freezes well. After assembling the ingredients, cover the dish with plastic wrap then aluminum foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator the day of baking. Be sure to remove the plastic wrap before baking.
You can also place the frozen dish in the oven BEFORE preheating the oven and add an additional 15 minutes to making time. (again remove the plastic wrap before baking)
