Surprise! My wonderful husband had this meal waiting for me when I got home from work the other night! It was excellent! We froze half for leftovers. I was very impressed :)


Ingredients


Serves 4 to 6


1 pound Rigatoni

4 cups prepared marinara sauce (any variety)

1/2 pound fresh ricotta cheese

2 cups (about 1 pound) shredded mozzarella

1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Salt

Directions


Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and return to a boil. Add rigatoni and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Drain; set aside.


Preheat broiler. In a large saucepan, bring marinara sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour half the heated sauce into a large bowl; set aside. Add cooked rigatoni and ricotta to saucepan with remaining sauce; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over low heat.


Pour pasta mixture into a baking dish and top with reserved sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Transfer baking dish to broiler and broil until cheese has melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
