How to Make Restaurant Quality Baked Ziti

Step-by-Step

Cook ziti. Drain and add to 9x13 pan. In a separate bowl combine all ingredients except RAO sauce and mozarella. Add to ziti.
Pour sauce over ziti and cheese mixture. Top with mozarella and cover with foil.
Bake at 350 for about 25-30 min. until bubbly.
note: RAO is a brand of sauce sold in Walmart and nicer super markets. It is expensive but so worth it. I made this for a jewelry party I hosted and got so many compliments. I don't make it often becasue a single jar of sauce is $7 but it is soooo good!!
