Ingredients:

• 1 box of ziti pasta
• 1 cup of fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup of part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup of provolone cheese, sliced
• Cooking spray

Instructions:

1. Cook Pasta:

   • Begin by cooking the ziti pasta according to the package directions. Adding a dash of oil to the boiling water helps prevent the pasta from sticking together. Once cooked, set it aside for later use.

2. Prepare Baking Dish:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a 13×9 inch glass baking dish and spray it generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Layering:

   • Spread a thin layer of your favorite pasta sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

4. First Layer:

   • Arrange 1/3 of the sliced mushrooms and 1/3 of the cooked ziti pasta over the sauce layer.

5. Ricotta Layer:

   • Spread the entire cup of part-skim ricotta cheese evenly over the mushroom and pasta layer.

6. Second Layer:

   • Pour half of the remaining pasta sauce over the ricotta layer. Then, add another 1/3 of the sliced mushrooms and 1/3 of the cooked ziti pasta.

7. Parmesan Sprinkle:

   • Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese generously over this layer, ensuring even coverage.

8. Final Layer:

   • Pour the rest of the pasta sauce over the Parmesan layer. Add the remaining mushrooms and ziti pasta on top.

9. Cheese Toppings:

   • Cover the top layer with the shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Then, place the slices of provolone cheese on top for an extra cheesy goodness.

10. Bake:

    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.

11. Serve:

    • Once baked to perfection, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Scoop out generous portions of this cheesy delight onto plates and enjoy the flavorsome goodness with your loved ones!
