1# Ziti

Kosher Salt

3 1/2 cups Marinara

1# Fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Shredded mozzarella

3/4 cup grated parmesan

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Pinch crushed red pepper

1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs

3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and boil the pasta until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain.

Toss the cooked pasta with the quick tomato sauce, cubed mozzarella, half the Parmesan, all of the black pepper and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Transfer the pasta to the prepared baking dish. Cover the top of the pasta with the shredded mozzarella and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Bake until lightly browned and hot, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
