My great-aunt was in town from New York for Thanksgiving. She’s from the Italian side of my family, so she made us this fantastic Italian dish!
Ingredients
Ziti
Pasta sauce (we used my mom’s homemade sauce)
Ricotta cheese*
Mozzarella cheese*
Parmesan cheese*
Optional: an egg or milk to soften the ricotta
Optional: fresh parsley
*For a veganized version, use a tofu ricotta recipe, vegan mozzarella (like Daiya), and vegan Parmesan (like Galaxy).
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375. Boil the ziti according to directions.
2. Optional: While the pasta is boiling, add an egg or milk to the ricotta and mix to desired consistency. Mix chopped parsley into ricotta.
3. In a baking pan, mix cooked ziti, pasta sauce, ricotta, and some mozzarella and parmesan.
4. Top with mozzarella and parmesan.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 375.
