Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil the ziti for 2 minutes less than the package directions so it stays firm during baking.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the Sturdy Sauce, ricotta cheese, and chopped basil until thoroughly combined.
  3. Toss the undercooked pasta into the sauce mixture, then transfer everything into a lightly greased baking dish.
  4. Top with the shredded mozzarella and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling at the edges.
