i dont know how to make ziti with ricotta!.
BUT how i make it is a box of whole wheat rigatoni (because its healthy for you) and a can of my favorite marinara sauce (i use tomato basil) cook the pasta seperatly, heat the marinara seperatly!. sometimes i add bell peppers to the marinara as well!. but i cook the pasta til al dente, mix the sauce and noodles in a baking pan, pour mozzerella all over the top, and also cook italian sausages on the side!. i heat in the over until sausages are done and the cheese is all melty and perfect!.

its delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chop an onion and saute in frying pan in a little oil so it wont stick until it is translucent or tender!. Add ground beef and cook until brown!. Add either a jar of marinara or tomato sauce ( which you will need to add seasoning to like basil, oregano, salt and pepper thats why I use the already seasoned marinara) and some tomato paste which adds richness!. Add water in equal amounts to the paste!. Then seaparately boil water for the ziti or penne pasta!. Boil the pasta until almost done!. Then drain it in a collander and add to the tomato!.meat!. onion mixture (oops forgot to say add chopped garlic to the onions after they have cooked a while!. So now you need to add cheese!. Mix the ricotta with a raw egg until smooth, add to the main mix as well as some other grated cheese-can be monterey jack, chedder or velveeta which melts nicely!. You may add black olives if you like!. The mix should be a little soupy since when you bake it in the oven it will dry out!. Bake until bubbly-about 30 or 40 mins!. It doesnt have to be exact as you can tell from my directions!. Soon you will be cooking your own style!. Good for youWww@FoodAQ@Com
