This cheesy quick baked ziti recipe without meat is the ultimate comfort food that's easy to whip up on a busy weeknight or sophisticated enough for Sunday dinner.
6
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
- 32 oz Rao's Marinara Sauce
- 16 oz Ziti
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- Dash of Salt
- 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cook pasta in salted water to al dente (follow package directions). The pasta should have a little bit to it as it will continue to cook when baking in the oven.
- Once pasta is cooked and drained, return it to the hot pot. Adding the pasta back to the hot pot will help to evaporate any water still left on the pasta.
- Add the marinara sauce (reserving about 1 cup for the top of the dish), ricotta cheese, 1/2 of the parmesan cheese, 1/2 of the parsley, and salt & pepper to the cooked pasta. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the pasta mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Spread the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the dish (this will help to keep the pasta from drying out).
- Sprinkle the mozzarella & remaining parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover dish with tin foil and bake in the oven until meatless baked ziti is bubbly and heated through.
- Remove tin foil and bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly.
- Sprinkle remaining chopped parsley on top.
- Let stand for about 10 minutes, then enjoy!
