Baked Penne
This recipe was originally for ziti but none of my friends knew what it is, so now I just call it penne which is more or less the same thing. The recipe uses three cheeses layered with pasta and vegetable sauce.

- 700g ricotta cheese
- 550g grated mozzarella cheese

Made it healthier. I used low fat dairy products and it turned out fine. I think this would be nice with canned fish if you wanted some extra protien - 25 May 2009
