Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in ziti and return to a boil. Cook ziti, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.

Combine ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and egg in a bowl. Spread 1/3 spaghetti sauce in the prepared baking dish; top with 1/2 ziti, 1/2 ricotta mixture, 1/3 spaghetti sauce, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, ending with remaining spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 45 to 50 minutes.
