Ingredients:
1 pound (450g) Ziti pasta
Olive oil
1 Onion, chopped
3-4 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 pound (450g) Italian sausage/ground beef/ground pork
2-14oz cans (800g) Tomato sauce or marinara sauce
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 cup (250g) Ricotta cheese
8oz (225g) Mozzarella
1/2 cup Parmesan
1/2 cup (120ml) water

Directions:
1. Cook the pasta: to a large pot water add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil. When water is boiling add the pasta cook to al dente. Drain when ready.

5. Spread a thin layer of the sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole pan. Then combined drained pasta with the meat sauce. Pour half of the pasta-meat mixture into the dish. Then dot the surface with half the ricotta cheese and sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the parmesan. Pour the rest of the pasta-meat mixture of the cheese layer, then, dot the remaining ricotta cheese over the pasta, and sprinkle on top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.

    Correction: when you are going to bake pasta, you must under-cook it, not al dente, about six minutes only.
