8. On top of the pasta, sprinkle a few dollops of ricotta cheese.4-6 slices of Provolone cheese and half a mozzarella cheese on top.
9. Make sure that all of the pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce by repeating with the remaining pasta, sauce, ricotta cheese, and cheeses.
10. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese, and bake for 30 minutes UNCOVERED at 375 degrees. To achieve a nice brown, bubbly cheese, place the ziti under the broiler at the end.
