"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ziti

16 oz. (one box) ziti pasta
24–32 oz. of your fav pasta sauce (homemade recommended)
24 oz. ricotta cheese
16 oz. shredded mozzarella
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan

Seasoning
(Recommended measurements for seasoning if you do not believe in shaking the container until your soul tells you to stop)

1 tsp basil
1 tsp italian parsley
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Cook pasta al dente, drain, set aside, and have pasta sauce ready to go.
Mix ricotta, parmesan, 8 oz. of mozzerella, egg, and spices in a medium bowl, and combine everything well.

In a 9 x 13 in. baking pan, lay a thin layer of sauce down. Put 1/2 of your pasta on top, layer with more sauce, add the cheese filling, layer with sauce, top with the rest of the pasta, and ladle the rest of the sauce on top of the second pasta layer.

Coat the top pasta layer with the remaining mozzarella cheese. You can always add more cheese if you think it needs it.

Cover with aluminum foil (to prevent cheese sticking, spray the inside of the aluminum with cooking spray).

Bake for 25 min. covered, and then bake for 10 min. uncovered.
When done baking, brown the cheese with your broiler—no more than 4 min.
Let ziti sit for 10–20 min. to firm up before serving.

Personal Notes:
This ziti is a family recipe combo of my Aunt's and Dad's recipes. There was no actually recipe, so I had to piece it together by taste and memory. It's another recipe that I love, because I want to pass it down someday.

In the end, I want this recipe to be a base where people start and add their own flares and history into.
