Baked Rigatoni

The original recipe card I have for this (from "Easy Everyday Cooking") is for "Baked Ziti", yet when I went to the store to find ziti, the only one available was "mini ziti", so I settled for its close relative, rigatoni (which is more like what is in the picture on the card anyhow).  As usual, I modified the recipe as I saw fit; this is my version :)

Ingredients:

1 lb. rigatoni
1 (28 oz.) jar prepared pasta sauce (I used Everyday Essentials Three Cheese)
1 c. ricotta cheese (I used part skim)
1 egg
1 c. shredded Italian cheese blend (I used Sargento 6 Cheese)
1/2 tsp. bottled minced garlic
4 oz. fresh mozzerella, cut into cubes
***the next time I make this, I think it needs to be a tomato basil type sauce instead, with closer to 1 1/4 jars***

Instructions:

1. Cook pasta according to directions on package and drain.

2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F.  In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian cheese, and garlic.

3. Add the pasta sauce to the pasta and stir to combine.

4. Pour half of pasta into a baking dish.

5. Spread the cheese mixture over the pasta in the dish.

6. Top with remaining pasta.

7. Add cubed mozzarella over top.

8. Bake for 20 minutes.

9. Enjoy (garlic bread would go quite well with this--will have next time)!
