  4. Toss the pasta into the mixture with the marinara, spinach, ricotta, and 1/4 cup of the parmesan.

Add the onion, salt, and pepper. Top with half of the ziti, ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese. This baked ziti is layered almost like a lasagna to ensure every bite has enough creamy ricotta, stringy mozzarella and tangy tomato sauce But the key to its success comes from undercooking the pasta during the initial boil so it stays perfectly al dente, even after a trip to the oven Heavy cream is added to prevent the ricotta from becoming grainy or dry during baking, letting it be its most. Try RICOTTA CHEESE instead of sour cream and skip the provolone for a real Italian version of Baked Ziti. Mix an egg into a pound of ricotta to make it nice and creamy, and toss with the ziti.
