Baked Ziti Pasta

2 cups meat sauce
1/2 pound of small tubular pasta (ziti, penne, etc.)
1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Heat the meat sauce up. (I usually make extra and freeze in 2 cup portions.) Boil the pasta according to the package directions and drain. Mix the pasta into the meat sauce and then pour into an 8x8 pan. Top with Mozzarella and then Parmesan. Cover with foil at bake at 350 for 20 minutes, then uncover for 5 more minutes.

Note: You can freeze the pasta and meat sauce after it's mixed together. Thaw, pour into the pan, top with the cheeses and bake covered for 30-40 minutes to make sure it's heated through.
