Simply Baked Pasta

Ingredients:

1/2 -3/4 package ziti or penne pasta
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 c. ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 T. chives
1/2 c. shredded Parmesan
1 c. mozzarella

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Cook pasta according to package directions. Mix ricotta with egg and add in chives. Spray a 9x13 Pyrex with cooking spray. Layer pasta, spaghetti sauce, ricotta mixture, Parmesan and mozzarella. Continue until used up. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Serve with salad and garlic toast.

Hey, girls, I've recently discovered fresh mozzarella and I love it! You can usually find it in the specialty cheeses section at the grocery store. It's round, and even comes in little pearl-like balls. It sometimes comes packed in water. It's a little pricey, but SO worth it! The taste is SO much better than the typical rubbery stuff that's pre-shredded. Give it a try!
