THREE CHEESE BAKED ZITI

15-oz pkg part-skim ricotta cheese

2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
16-oz pkg ziti pasta, cooked according to pkg directions; drained
28-oz jar pasta sauce (I prefer chunky garden-style)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees while you cook the ziti.

In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan cheese; set aside. 

In another bowl, combine the pasta and the pasta sauce. Mix until the mixture is well blended. In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray, spoon in half the pasta mixture. Evenly top with the cheese mixture then the remaining pasta. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through.

Note: Serve with garlic bread and a salad for a complete meal.
