THIS IS VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE AND DO THE NIGHT BEFORE

In a large roasting dish, spread a thin layer of sauce over the
bottom. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese. Soften the ricotta
cheese in Microwave by cooking on LOW (30%) for about 1-1/2 to 2
minutes.

Layer with half each of ziti, ricotta cheese, sauce, and half of
remaining Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers. Bake in a preheated 350F.
degree oven for approximately 1 hour. Let stand for 1/2 hour before
serving. NOTE: If making the night before, cover with plastic wrap.
