Mix your Ricotta, Pamesan and Mozzarella then place dollops over half of your pasta in a 9×13 inch baking dish. My favorite 9 x 13 inch baking dishes are by Emile Henry.  Find them at your favorite kitchen store.  Top with remaining pasta then sprinkle with additional mozzarella cheese. Bake until hot and cheese is melted.

    this was so good!! another well received recipe from my picky eater! she even went back for seconds! I didn’t have italian sausage on hand, so I used up some leftover grilled brats. just chopped them up until it was more like crumbles. It really worked well actually!!! my oldest won’t eat a brat off the grill- but like I said she devoured this!! and so simple. I put it together while they had some down time, and it baked while we did homework. WIN!!!
