Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add marinara sauce. Let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Drain the pasta and mix it with the marinara sauce in a large bowl.
- In the baking dish, spread half of the pasta mixture, then dollop half of the ricotta mixture and sprinkle half of the mozzarella. Repeat the layers.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- For an extra crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Notes
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow layers to set. Serve with a simple green salad or garlic bread.
