Ricotta Cheese

Pasta (ziti, rigatoni, penne)

Bring a large stock pot of water to boil. Once the water boils, add salt and stir in your pasta of choice. Take an oven-safe baking dish and pour a few drops of marinara at the bottom. Pour in the pasta and mix the pasta in with the marinara.

Add more marinara, spices, salt, pepper, and a few dollops of the ricotta cheese. Stir with a wooden spoon, making sure to coat all of the pasta.

Top the pasta with a layer of mozzarella cheese and bake for 20 minutes. Once the pasta is finished baking, turn the oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and the pasta is slightly crispy on the sides.
