subheading: In bowl #1 mix:

2 lbs. cooked and drained ziti

6 c. pasta sauce (homemade from 2, 28 oz. cans crushed tomatoes)

2 lbs. of ground Italian Sausage (optional)

subheading: In bowl #2 mix:

2 lbs. ricotta cheese

2 c. mozzarella cheese, grated

fresh basil to taste (I used several Tbs. from my plant)

1 tsp. salt

½ tsp. pepper

¼ c. grated parmesan

note: *You will also need another 4 c. mozzarella.

Layer in this way in an extra large disposable pasta pan: 1/2 of the ziti mixture goes in the bottom. Cover with all of the ricotta cheese mixture. Put the remaining half of the ziti mixture on top of that, top with the 4 c. of mozzarella and cover with foil. Bake in a 350* oven for 30 minutes, removing the foil during the last 10 minutes to let the cheese get a little brown and bubbly.

(I think my large roasting pan might also work well, I'll try that next time.)
