Ingredients
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 28 oz
- 3 cups water
- 16 ounces ziti
- Salt pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet on a medium/high heat and add crushed tomatoes. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add water, ziti, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and mix. Cover with a lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, so pasta won’t stick together.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- When the pasta is cooked, turn off the stove, add heavy cream and grated parmesan and mix. Add more salt if needed. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the pasta.
- Bake at 450°F for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and browned.

Notes
NOTE 1: If you don’t have an oven safe skillet, you just will need to transfer the pasta to a baking pan before putting it in the oven. This way you’ll end up having Baked Ziti Casserole.
NOTE 2: When you cook the pasta, it is very important to stir the pasta every few minutes, so it won’t stick together or to the bottom of the pan.
