Easy Baked Ziti

You will need:
1 large baking dish
1 pkg whole wheat penne or rotini pasta (I use whole wheat because w/ this dish you can't tell the difference)
1 container of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 8oz container of ricotta cheese
2 1/2 cups mozarella
1 cup parmesean
Pinch of basil
Pinch of garlic salt
Pinch of Italian seasoning
Pince of pepper
1/2 cup of milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Cook pasta according to directions on box, just until no longer hard. Don't over-cook. Drain.
Mix together ricotta, 1/2 c. of mozarella, milk and spices. Consistency should be like pancake batter or a little thicker. You can add more milk if it becomes too thick.
Mix together pasta (drained) and ricotta mixture.
Line bottom of pan with a thinlayer of spaghetti sauce
Dump all of the pasta into the pan, covering with a layer of mozerella, then the rest of the spaghetti sauce.
Cook oncovered in oven for about 25 minutes and then add a mixture of mozarella and parmesean cheeses on top and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until all the cheese is melted.

Serve with salad and warm bread. Yumminess.
