This is a good recipe to freeze, it makes a lot, and is very tasty. Next time I will divide it into two 8x8 pans as I am on an anti-leftovers track here. Just look at all that cheese! You could also add mini meatballs or cooked and seasoned ground beef if you aren't into that meatless thing...
Baked Ziti
1/2 pound ziti pasta
16 oz. small curd cottage cheese
3 c. shredded mozzarella
3 c. marinara sauce - homemade or jarred
1/2 c. grated parmesan
Boil ziti in salted water til al dente and drain. Mix it with 1/2 the mozzarella and all of the cottage cheese. Spray a 13x9 pan (or two 8x8's) with Pam. Pour 1/2 the sauce into the dish. Layer in the ziti. Top with the second half of sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan and rest of mozzarella. *Cover with Pam sprayed foil and freeze here*
Admire your handiwork - this is gonna be good!
To cook: Thaw in fridge. Uncover and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes til bubbly.
Yum. Cheesy saucy pasta served with a salad and a smile (:
This looks lovely and has me wanting pasta for dinner tonight.
