This is my first review and i'm glad it was on this recipe! I always read a bunch of the reviews before deciding on a recipe, and i took a few pointers from other members such as: mixed up 2 eggs and used an entire 32oz container of part-skin ricotta cheese. In that mixture i added a package of 'italian-style' shredded cheese as well as a a good handful of shredded mozzarella. Since i am in LOVE with fresh basil, i chopped up a little bunch of basil and also added a few sprinkles of garlic salt and parsley to taste. Once the ziti was cooked (i meant to cook to al dente, but i got caught up in mixing my cheese mixture and they ended up fully-cooked. I thought i was going to end up with a mush at the end, but it still turned out perfect!). I used a tomato basil sauce and put half the jar on the bottom, then half the noodles, then spooned out the cheese mixture evenly on top of the ziti. Next was a light sprinkle of mozz cheese. I repeated the previous steps starting with the sauce, and ending with cheese, and then some grated parmesan on top. Baked at 375 COVERED wth foil for 30 min, and ended it by putting unde the broiler on low until the cheese on top was lightly browned. This was DIVINE!!! It also can serve about 8 people, at least. I think the garlic salt/parsley/fresh basil additions really helped keep it too cheesy-bland. My husband took some the next day for lunch and he NEVER eats leftovers!! Thanks to all the other reviewers and also the member who added this great re
