The title 10-minute is a little misleading, because the 10 minutes refers to prep time only, but that's the title on the recipe card! It has to bake a whole other hour after that. Still, I do love me some pasta with cheese and sauce on it! The recipe is just a base(a very GOOD base by itself!); easy as pie to jazz it up with ground beef or Italian sausage, extra onions, garlic, spices-whatever strikes your fancy! Higher fat or lower fat depending on if you use low-fat ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella. This came from a cookbook I had once, but darn if I know which one or where it even is! Ingredients:
26 ounces ragu tomato sauce (whichever type you prefer) |
1 1/2 cups water |
15 ounces ricotta cheese |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated |
8 ounces ziti pasta |
italian seasoning, to taste (optional) |
garlic powder, to taste (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Combine the sauce and water in a mixing bowl.
3. Stir in the ricotta, parmesan, and 1/2 the mozzarella, then the uncooked ziti.
4. Spoon the mixture into a 9x13 baking dish and cover with foil.
5. Bake for 55 minutes.
6. Remove the foil, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
