Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375F. Cook the ziti until just shy of al dente; drain.

  2. 2

    Brown the sausage with the onion, add the garlic, then stir in the marinara.

  3. 3

    Mix the ricotta with the egg and parmesan. Toss the pasta with the sauce, then fold in the ricotta.

  4. 4

    Spread in a baking dish, top with mozzarella, and bake 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

Notes

Farm tip: Undercook the pasta by a couple minutes — it finishes cooking in the oven and won't turn mushy.

Serving suggestion: Serve with a green salad and garlic bread.
