This classic baked ziti recipe hits the spot on a cold day with three cheeses: ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
Preheat oven the 350°F. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for approximately 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add spaghetti sauce and dried oregano to skillet; bring just to a boil before removing it from the heat.
In a large bowl, stir 1 cup spaghetti sauce into cooked pasta to coat well. Transfer half of the pasta mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with the container of ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1 cup spaghetti sauce.
Transfer the remaining pasta mixture into the baking dish and top with remaining sauce. Cover and bake for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan; bake for approximately 10 minutes more until cheese is melted.
