Low Sodium Baked Ziti Pasta ### Ingredients

12 oz ziti pasta
2 cups low sodium marinara sauce
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low sodium if available)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ziti pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked ziti pasta to the cheese mixture and stir until the pasta is evenly coated.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer half of the ziti mixture over the sauce, then add another layer of marinara sauce. Top with the remaining ziti mixture and finish with the rest of the marinara sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and enjoy your delicious low sodium baked ziti!
