THIS IS VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE AND DO THE NIGHT BEFORE
Cook the ziti or mostaccioli pasta until al
dente. Drain.
In a large roasting dish, spread a thin layer of sauce
over the bottom. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Parmesan
cheese. Soften the ricotta cheese in Microwave by
cooking on LOW (30%) for about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.
Layer with half each of ziti, ricotta cheese, sauce,
and half of remaining Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers.
Bake in a preheated 350F. degree oven for
approximately 1 hour. Let stand for 1/2 hour before
serving. NOTE: If making the night before, cover with

tomato mixture reacts against the foil.
