Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ziti pasta
  • 4 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup fontina cheese shredded
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Romano cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 375 degrees to warm up.
  2. Cook the ziti pasta but remove it from heat one minute before the package instructions say, then drain.
  3. In a big metal mixing bowl, stir together the pasta with marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, ricotta cheese, and fontina cheese until well combined.
  4. Transfer everything into a large ovenproof dish or a 9 by 13 inch pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the mozzarella, panko crumbs, Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic; sprinkle this blend evenly over the pasta.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden and the dish bubbles.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
