Ingredients

  • 16 oz. box penne pasta
  • 1 jar (24-33 oz.) spaghetti sauce
  • 15. oz. ricotta
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. Italian seasoning, divided
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook pasta 2 minutes less than package directions. Meanwhile, mix ricotta, egg and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning.
  • Drain pasta and dump in a 13x9 pan. Mix in sauce. Spread ricotta mixture over the pasta then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, parmesan and 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil for a minute or two, until golden. Keep a close eye so it doesn't burn.
