Creamy Baked Ziti


  • 4 C ziti pasta, uncooked
  • 1 jar marinara sauce
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed (the original recipe calls for 6 oz, but why leave 2 oz left over?)
  • 3/4 C sour cream (I use more...)
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (at least!)
  • 1/3 C grated parmesan cheese


Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Cook pasta in large saucepan; remove & drain
Add marinara sauce, tomatoes, & cream cheese to same pan
Cook, stirring frequently, on medium heat 5 minutes or until cream cheese is melted & mixture is well blended
Return pasta to pan & mix well
Layer half of the pasta mixture in a 13x9  baking dish
Cover with a layer of sour cream & 1 cup of mozzarella
Add remaining pasta and top with remaining mozzarella
Sprinkle on parmesan cheese
Bake 20 minutes or until heated through

Yummy, Yummy, comfort food goodness at its best.
