Preparation
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Assembly
Combine Pasta and Sauce
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ziti pasta with the rosa sauce, mozzarella cheese, and provolone cheese. Mix well until the pasta is evenly coated.
Layer the Mixture
Spread half of the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Dot the top with half of the ricotta cheese, then layer the remaining pasta mixture on top.
Add Toppings
Spread the remaining ricotta cheese over the top of the pasta. In a small bowl, mix the Italian-style bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the ziti.
Baking
Bake the Ziti
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the ziti from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious baked ziti!
