Ingredients

Techniques
  • 1 lb ziti
  • 1–2 cup gravy
Cook the ziti very al dente, about five minutes at most; transfer to a large bowl and toss with a cup or two of gravy.
Assembling Carmela's baked ziti
  • ricotta
  • fresh mozzarella
Spread half the sauced ziti in an aluminum casserole; spread gobs of ricotta evenly, scatter half-inch chunks of fresh mozzarella and grate parmesan over.
  • 1–1½ oz parmesan cheese
  • 1–2 cup gravy
Spread the remaining ziti evenly so no cheese is exposed, top with another cup or two of gravy and about an ounce of grated parmesan.
  • 1 oz grated parmesan
Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
Unwrap and bake 15 to 20 minutes more until browned, bubbly and crisp.
