2cupsPasta tomato sauceA jar of your favorite, or make your own. Divided.
3cupMozzarellaLow-moisture, shredded
Instructions
Boil the ziti to al dente. Set aside
Combine in a large bowl the ricotta, egg yolk, ½ cup of the Pecorino Romano, a pinch of nutmeg and the fresh, chopped parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese mixture; toss to mix well.
Mix almost all the pasta tomato sauce into the cheese and pasta, saving about ½ cup for the top.
Mix half of the shredded mozzarella (1½ cup) into the pasta and cheese.
Spread all of the mixture into the greased (I use butter or ghee) baking pan. Spread top with the remaining pasta tomato sauce; the 1½ cup of shredded mozzarella and the remaining ½ cup grated pecorino romano.
Baked at 350℉, uncovered for about 30 - 45 minutes, until lightly browned and cheese is nicely melted.
