Example let’s start by cooking the pasta bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil add one sixteen ounce package of ziddi pasta ziti noodles are narrow tubular pasta noodles about an inch and a half long boil the ziti stirring occasionally for between 8 and

10 minutes or until al dente meaning done but still firm when you bite it drain the ziti and rinse them with cold water and drain them again this will keep them from sticking pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees you can lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking

  1. I have made a verson of this for 15 years and it does come out great but i like to add a pinch of salt and parsely to the cheese and i do half mozz and half provolone cheeses
    it always is a great meal and is a sloppy version of lassagna

  2. I am right there with you on that. Provolone does not get the recognition it deserves along side mozzarella. Herbs are key, too!

  3. this recipe is not right. first off you use your own marinara. not crap in a jar.  parmiaganna regianno cheese. the ricotta should have parsley salt and pepper.
