Calories 414kcal
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten free ziti or penne pasta
- 4 cups gluten free marinara or spaghetti sauce divided
- 1 heaping cup ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil then add a couple Tablespoons salt and pasta and cook until pasta is al dente (do not overcook as the pasta will continue to cook in the oven.) Drain then set aside.
- Meanwhile, add 2-1/2 cups marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, and parmesan cheese to a large bowl then stir to combine. Add drained pasta then mix to combine.
- Pour mixture into a medium-sized baking dish then top with mozzarella cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly. Uncover then bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to fully melt cheese (cheese does not need to brown - just melt.) Warm remaining marinara sauce then scoop Baked Ziti onto plates, spoon warm marinara sauce over top, and serve.
Notes
- Use the highest quality marinara or spaghetti sauce you can find in this dish - it REALLY makes a difference in making it taste like the “real thing”! I use Gino’s, or Rao's.
