Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups marinara sauce (possibly more)
  • 3/4 pound low fat ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 pound mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 pound parmesan cheese shredded
  • 3/4 pound macaroni noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to salted boiling water. Cook the macaroni noodles in water until al dente, then drain.
  2. Put a thin layer of sauce at the bottom of the pan. Add a layer of noodles and randomly sprinkle with 1/3 of all cheeses. (Be sure to reserve some parmesan cheese for the end) Top with sauce, and repeat 2 more times.
  3. Top with parmesan cheese for browning. Place in oven for 30 minutes and cook until warm and bubbly. Let cool, but eat warm.
