FRED'S BAKED ZITI 
5 c. Fred's Old Fashioned Sauce
15 oz. Ricotta cheese
24 oz. Mozzarella cheese
Romano cheese
1 lb. Ziti (can substitute with wide noodles)

Cook Ziti according to package directions, drain and let sit for about 15 minutes or until well drained, cook sauce in pot or microwave until warm and put on side. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl or pot add Ziti and sauce and mix together well, then add Ricotta cheese and approximately 10 ounces of Mozzarella into mixture and mix well. Then pour into a 3 quart or 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Sprinkle Romano cheese on top, then place remaining Mozzarella cheese on top.

Place into preheated oven for 30 minutes or until bubbling shows on sides of dish and cheese is slightly browned, remove from oven and let sit for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Serve with a salad and garlic bread.

GARLIC BREAD:

Take a loaf of Italian bread, cut in half and on both sides generously butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, close together and wrap in aluminum foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for around 10-20 minutes, cut loaf into 3 inch pieces and serve hot.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
