Cook the ziti or mostaccioli pasta until al dente.
Drain.
In a large roasting dish, spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom.
Sprinkle with ⅓ of the Parmesan cheese.
Soften the ricotta cheese in Microwave by cooking on low (30%) for about 1½ to 2 minutes.
Layer with half each of ziti, ricotta cheese, sauce, and half of remaining Parmesan cheese.
Repeat layers.
Bake in a preheated 350℉ (180℃) degree oven for approximately 1 hour.
Let stand for ½ hour before serving.
