Baked Ziti-Elise's

Baked Ziti

8 oz. dry ziti pasta
1 jar (1lb. 10oz.) 3 Cheese Prego spaghetti sauce
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 c. shredded parmesan cheese
15 oz. ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. pepper
olive oil
optional: browned sausage or ground beef to add to the sauce

Boil ziti noodles until soft, drain and moisten with olive oil to keep from sticking. In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, basil, and pepper. In a 2 1/2 qt. (I used a 9x13) casserole dish, layer a small amount of sauce, a flat layer of noodles, some ricotta cheese mixture, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Repeat layering process until ingredients or space runs out. Last layer should be any leftover sauce sprinkled with a little mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly around edges.
