Baked Ziti

Heat olive oil in a large pot and cook onion until soft, about 6 minutes. Add garlic for 1 minute, then crushed tomatoes, oregano and salt. Simmer for 15 minutes and stir in basil.

Heat the oven to 190 C. Boil ziti in water seasoned with salt for 3 minutes less than the packet says. Drain.

Mix ricotta with egg and a third of mozzarella.

Toss par-cooked ziti with most of tomato sauce. Spread half in a 23 x 33 cm baking dish, dot with spoonfuls of ricotta mixture, then add the rest of the pasta and sauce. Top with the remaining mozzarella.

Cover assembled ziti with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden and bubbling. Rest 10 minutes.
