This simple recipe sounds fantastic! I would use canned tomato sauce and various italian seasonings rather than the jarred sauce. I would also add a LOT more parmesan to the top than what is called for. And I would recommend covering this with foil before baking so the top doesn't get crunchy. Unless you like that, of course.

This would also be great with mushrooms, fresh spinach and/or sausage as well. Love the addition of the provolone!

Ziti and baked ravioli are two of my fav's, yummay!
☀ Aunt Shanny Feb 4, 2008, 11:30am EST
I plan on making ravioli sometime this week.
☀ Aunt Shanny Feb 4, 2008, 11:32am EST
I know I would add them, Cindy.

There's pasta-bilities. Mushrooms work, maybe some black olives, too...and more cheese...more mozz and maybe some extra sharp cheddar. I'd use canned tomato sauce so I could make a little extra but not have to use an entire second jar having to open that. I'm wondering how some slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese would work. Oops, did I mention I threw some oregano into the sauce along with some other things...nothing too outrageous.

☀ Aunt Shanny Feb 4, 2008, 11:45am EST
Black olives! Hell yeah! That all sounds good, Rob.

Thanks, J.

Ohh you all are killing me - I know better than to look at this stuff. I'm not eating because I'm having a bit of a stomach problem and have to take my aunt to the eye doctors in a bit. Don't want to have any issues when I do that.

I'm trying to keep busy so I'm not thinking about food and then I come on here and see this. Damn!
☀ Aunt Shanny Feb 4, 2008, 12:01pm EST
My bad!

This sounds wonderful with a nice slice of italian bread
Marianne M. Feb 4, 2008, 12:43pm EST
Good one, Shan. Just made a copy. Thanks.
☀ Aunt Shanny Feb 4, 2008, 12:45pm EST
Oh yeah, Fat Tuesday. I hope Matt brings me home some berry filled ones...

Thanks for the comments and feedback :)

almost like a lasagna!
☀ Aunt Shanny Feb 4, 2008, 12:57pm EST
But easier, I think!

I do like this one. I'm a pasta eater.

My sister picked out a 5 Italian cheese package of grated cheese for Christmas dinner to go on a salad she makes. She was really looking for a container of fresh grated parmesan, but we got this as well. We have been using the Italian blend grated cheese on all of our salads, and it is great. I don't really want to eat a salad now without it.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. It is something that caught my attention about food prep.
☀ Aunt Shanny Feb 4, 2008, 1:24pm EST
Kraft makes a decent one, I think it only has four cheeses though. Love that stuff!

Good old Ziti. This was on the school lunch menu a couple of times a month and it was actually pretty good and they gave us plenty. Lunch was 25 cents all through grade school and my Mom was outraged when it went up to 35 cents for high school. Yeah, I'm old!
CC Miranda the artrat (or am i?) Feb 4, 2008, 2:57pm EST
i could eat a whole pan. yummy yummy yummy
☀ Aunt Shanny Feb 4, 2008, 3:31pm EST
LOL! I think our lunches were $1 but I don't really remember.

Me too, CC, as long as I have some fresh bread to go with :)
Bob B. Feb 4, 2008, 7:59pm EST
I've never had Ziti. I'll give it a try.
Christine G. Feb 4, 2008, 8:04pm EST
