Baked Ziti

1 egg
2 cups or 12 oz. cottage cheese or ricotta cheese (or similar)
16 oz. ziti pasta, slightly undercooked
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
10 oz. spinach, frozen, chopped, thawed & squeezed

In a food processor, combine the egg and the cottage (or ricotta) cheese, and then mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. I added some extra seasonings, salt, pepper, italian seasoning, and parsley.

Place the entire mixture into freezer bag. Remove all excess air. Seal, label & freeze.
When cooking, empty the ziti mixture in a sprayed 2 1/2 or 3 quart casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Additional cheese may be added to the top of the casserole before baking, if desired. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Our family found we wanted a little extra sauce on this one so have some spaghetti sauce handy in case you too would like some sauce on top. This one gets top honors because our children ate several helpings of it. That NEVER happens!
