Easy to throw together, and only one dish and one cooking pot. You can also add mushrooms, onions, peppers, whatever, if you like; but I was trying to keep this at 6 ingredients or less.

1 jar spaghetti sauce, any flavor
8 ounces dry ziti pasta
12 ounces cottage cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

How To Make easy ziti bake

Step 1

Place meatballs and spaghetti sauce in a dish that can go in the microwave and the oven. It should hold about 2 quarts. Cover and microwave about 4 minutes on high, to heat sauce and meatballs.

Step 2

Cook Ziti pasta according to package directions, then drain.
Step 3

Stir cottage cheese into meatball-spaghetti mixture until well blended. Then stir in the cooked Ziti until it is distributed evenly.
Step 4

Top evenly with shredded mozzarella, then sprinkle Parmesan on top. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and cheese is melted and starting to brown. This takes about 30-40 minutes.
Step 5

Serve with tossed salad and garlic bread.
