Step 1

In a large oven safe skillet or roasting pan (I like to use the same skillet I prepared the noodles in) combine ziti, spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, chopped pepperoni (or other mix-ins), and 3 cups mozzarella cheese.

Step 2

Mix well, then top with remaining cup of mozzarella (and if using, pepperoni slices).

Step 3

Bake at 425 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 4

NOTE: If you're preparing a previously frozen dish or your noodles are cold, cover with foil and bake at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10 - 15.

Step 5

Garnish with fresh basil and ENJOY!
