Baked Ziti

1 box ziti pasta
2 jars of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 large container ricotta cheese
1 bag shredded mozzarella (2 cups)
1 package pepperoni

Preheat oven to 350º F

Cook pasta to just under al dente. Drain. Put pasta in large baking dish. Stir in 1.5 jars of spaghetti sauce (save the rest to pour on when you nuke leftovers later). Stir in ricotta, ¾ of the mozzarella and pepperoni (as many as you want in there, but save some for the top). Smooth out the top evenly and cover with the remaining mozzarella and top with pepperoni. Cover with foil and bake at 350º for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes. I like my pepperoni crispy so I put it under the broiler until the cheese is brown and bubbly and the pepperoni are nice and crispy.
