This tastes just like the ziti from a local restaurant. Found it by accident and doctored it up. Enjoy!

How To Make restaurant quality baked ziti

Step 1

Cook ziti. Drain and add to 9x13 pan. In a separate bowl combine all ingredients except RAO sauce and mozarella. Add to ziti.

Step 2

Pour sauce over ziti and cheese mixture. Top with mozarella and cover with foil.
Step 3

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!!
