Baked Ziti



1/2 lb. dried ziti
cooked in boiling water (about 8 min - to tender). Drain
While pasta is cooking combine in a large bowl:
16 oz. ricotta or cottage cheese
2 cups mozzerella cheese
dash of nutmeg
dash or parsley
When noodles are done and drained, pour hot noodles into cheese mixture. Mix until noodles are well coated with cheese mixture.
To assemble: Layer in a 2-3 qt. dish the following from bottom to top --
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
ziti cheese mixture
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 cup mozzerella cheese and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese combined
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until it begins to bubble.

Note: the original recipe did not call for nutmeg or parsley, but I think it adds a great flavor. This is sure to be a family favorite. It is super easy to make and everyone loves it.

Ryan's opinion: De-La-Licious! Good with garlic bread.
