Three cheese pasta bake - Day 301

 This is a great recipe. It is like a glorified mac and cheese. I added shredded chicken, instead of using ricotta I used cottage cheese, and I switched Mozzarella for cheddar since I can't eat soft cheese right now.

Ingredients

• 1 (16-ounce) package ziti
• 2 (10-ounce) containers refrigerated Alfredo sauce
• 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream 
• 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

Preparation

1. Prepare ziti according to package directions; drain and return to pot.
2. Stir together Alfredo sauce and sour cream; toss with ziti until evenly coated. Spoon half of mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
3. Stir together ricotta cheese and next 3 ingredients; spread evenly over pasta mixture in baking dish. Spoon remaining pasta mixture evenly over ricotta cheese layer; sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
5. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Buitoni Refrigerated Alfredo Sauce.

Note: Ziti pasta is shaped in long, thin tubes; penne or rigatoni pasta may be substituted, if desired.
