Cook ziti or penne pasta to about 90% done (about 2 pounds). Maybe cook about 8 minutes.
Combine and stir the following:
Tomato sauce 30oz + 8 oz
Tomato paste 1 can
15oz diced tomatoes with italian herbs
Italian seasonings to liking, we use: 3 tsp italian seasoning, 1 tsp garlic salt
Ricotta cheese 32oz
Cottage cheese 24oz
Parmesan cheese 1 cup
mozzarella cheese 1 handful
Take enough of the noodles and enough of the sauce mixture in a bowl for one casserole at a time. *Recipe usually makes enough for 3-4 casseroles and sometimes a gallon sized bag of sauce.
Add cooked ground beef or chopped up pepperoni. Top with mozzarella cheese and more italian seasoning for color and flavor. Cover with foil. Bake 350 for 45 minutes.
