- 15 oz Ricotta
- 16 oz Shredded Mozzarella
- 1 cup Parmesan
- 2 jars Marinara Sauce 32 oz jars

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and then prepare your 9x13 baking dish by spraying with cooking spray.
- Then cook the pasta according to the package directions. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain and set aside.
- Pour one cup of the pasta sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Then while the pasta cooks, mix together the eggs, ricotta, ½ the shredded mozzarella, the parmesan and the remaining pasta sauce in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Add the cooked pasta and stir until all the pieces of pasta are well combined with the cheese-sauce mixture.

Notes
- To reheat leftovers: Add an extra spoonful of sauce on top of the baked ziti, then microwave in 30 seconds increments until hot throughout.
- Make the dish gluten free by swapping the pasta for a gluten free variety.
