Creamy Ziti/Penne....GO ARMY GO.....

Creamy Penne Ziti






This weekend we are having a Party for my son who has joined the ARMY. So I am making different dishes for the party.
Here is a Pasta Salad I just made and the easy recipe goes like this.



Boil 1 and 1/2 boxs  Barilla Piccolini mini penne ( very tiny penne)  with a little salt as directed until tender. Strain set aside. In a bowl add 2 15 oz ricotta whole milk, onion salt, parsley, dill weed, garlic powder, Mrs. dash. Mix your favorite pasta sauce (mom loves tuttorosso traditional) She uses a lot of sauce in the mix depends on how much pasta she can used 2 jars to mix with the ricotta and add a little more sauce from a second jar, which makes it Creamy and not Dry. Sprinkle a little of shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir the above prior to adding the cooked penne. In a container put a little of the pasta sauce on the bottom, put the penne on top and put a little of the pasta sauce and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Moms secret for the Ziti/penne not to dry it out over and over is you only heat or bake your portion not the entire Ziti/penne plus her extra pasta sauce helps to make it moist.
Today I added a half pack of pollo chicken broth. You can add anything you love from veggies to meat.
Go Army Go .....
