Recipe: 3 Cheese Easy Baked Ziti

Three Cheese Baked Ziti Recipe

Calling all cheese lovers! This three cheese baked ziti dish one of my favorite recipes to gift to new moms or anyone who might need a meal. It freezes well and makes enough for two 8×8 inch baking dishes. You can keep one for dinner and give the other one away or freeze it for later. Feel free to throw in a cup of spinach or kale to get in those greens. You could even add a cup of butternut squash puree to the recipe to sneak in some veggies for the kiddos. 

INGREDIENTS

1lb ziti
15 oz ricotta cheese
5 cups marinara sauce
4 cups shredded mozzarella, divided (1 cup for topping)
1 cup shredded parmesan, divided (1/2 cup for topping)
2 tbsp Italian seasoning

2 – 8×8 baking dishes

DIRECTIONS

Step 1: Boil the ziti, al dente, according to the directions on the package. Drain and set aside.
