Tomato & Ricotta Pasta Bake
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Fiorfiore Mezzi Rigatoni Pasta
- 1 jar Fiorfiore Tomato & Ricotta Sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Fiorfiore Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add Fiorfiore Mezzi Rigatoni and cook until al dente (about 10–12 minutes).
- Drain the pasta and toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Lightly grease a deep baking dish with Fiorfiore Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This will help prevent the pasta from sticking to the dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked Rigatoni with the Fiorfiore Tomato & Ricotta Sauce. Stir well to ensure every piece of pasta is coated in the sauce.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Use a spoon to dollop ricotta cheese generously over the top. If you’re using mozzarella or Parmesan, sprinkle these cheeses evenly over the pasta for a cheesy, bubbly finish.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes to set.
- Serve warm as a main course, paired with a simple green salad or garlic bread.
