Ingredients

1 pound ziti pasta

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can crushed tomatoes

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

3 cups whole milk ricotta cheese

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Directions

Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the ziti in a large bowl and cover with hot salted water by 3 or 4 inches. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, stirring it after the first 5 minutes to prevent sticking. Drain.
