EZ Baked ZT
Lisa Flaxman
Prep Time: Prep time = 10 minutes
Cook Time: Cooking time = 20 minutes
Baked ziti is always a favorite in this author's house. Depending on what's in the fridge, I often make it more interesting by adding extra vegetables. For sauce, you can either use your favorite prepared kind or the homemade recipe from this book. The cottage cheese makes it creamy and gives it protein.
Ingredients
1 package (16 ounces) ziti, penne pasta or any other cut pasta
2 cups tomato sauce or any pasta sauce
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Cook pasta and drain. Toss with tomato sauce, cottage cheese, mozzarella, and vegetables, if desired. Spread evently in baking pan and top with parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until hot and serve. Serve with Italian-style cauliflower.
Suggestions
Can add cooked peas, steamed broccoli, cooked carrots, cooked sausage, and/or steamed asparagus.
