Ingredients for Gluten Free Baked Ziti Recipe:

• 12 oz gluten free ziti pasta
• 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil (optional for garnish)

Steps for Gluten Free Baked Ziti Recipe:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the gluten free ziti pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 3: Add the cooked ziti to the cheese mixture and toss until the pasta is well coated.

Step 4: Spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add the pasta mixture on top of the sauce, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5: Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the pasta, then top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For an extra golden top, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.

Step 7: Let the baked ziti cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
