Top Of The Stove Ziti - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ziti pasta (uncooked)
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh broccoli florets
SAUCE
1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce (I love a Newman's Own Basil & Tomato)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
3 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, diced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated)

Preparation

Cook pasta in a large pot of water as package directs; adding broccoli 4 minutes before pasta is done.
Mix pasta sauce and the ricotta in a large saucepan; cooking over medium-low heat until hot.
Drain pasta and broccoli; return to pot.
Add sauce mixture; toss to mix and coat.
IMMEDIATELY add mozzarella and about half the parsley and Parmesan; stir until mozzarella melts.
Transfer to a large serving bowl and sprinkle with remaining parsley and Parmesan.
