Preparation Steps

1. Cook the Pasta

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, heavy cream, half of the mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped basil. Mix until well combined.

3. Mix with Marinara

In another bowl, combine the cooked ziti pasta with Vinnie's marinara sauce. Stir until the pasta is evenly coated.

4. Combine Ingredients

Layer half of the ziti and marinara mixture in a greased baking dish. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture on top, then layer the remaining ziti on top of that.

5. Add Toppings

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the ziti.

6. Bake

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

7. Serve

Let the baked ziti cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
