Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

Combine mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, onion, parsley, egg, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in ziti and 2 cups marinara sauce.

Spread 1 cup marinara in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to coat. Pour ziti mixture into the dish; top with remaining 1 cup marinara, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover dish with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking until bubbly and cheese browned, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven; let sit 10 minutes before serving.
