Baked Ziti

Ingredients: 


1 package of tri colored penne pasta, cooked according to the directions, cooled
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce.  (I like Bertolli's roasted garlic)
4 Tbsp tomato paste
1 package shredded mozzeralla cheese

1 can of black olives (pitted)
1/4 C Parmesan cheese grated
1/2 tsp italian seasoning (more if you like the taste)




Assembly:
Pour half of the spaghetti sauce over the noodles along with the tomato paste and stir well.  Taste to see if you like more sauce.  I find this a matter of personal opinion.

Add half the package of Mozzerella cheese and all of the Parmesan to the mix saving the other half for the topping and sprinkle the seasonings on as well, mixing well to get all the ingredients well mixed up. Taste it and add a little salt and pepper if desired.  (I think the cheese has enough salt in it)

Slice half of the olives in half and mix them in with your pasta, reserving the other half for the topping.

Pour the pasta into a pre-greased oven proof dish.  Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and arrange the olives in a pretty pattern on the top of the cheese.

Bake the ziti at 325 degrees F for about 25 to 30 minutes until the cheese is melty.
