SCOOP OUT 1 mugful pasta cooking water, drain and set aside.

Ricotta Mixture - Mix Ricotta Mixture ingredients in a very large bowl. Use a splash of pasta cooking water if needed to make it creamy.

Add pasta and stir to combine. Transfer to a heatproof baking dish.

Top with Pasta Sauce, top with cheese. Loosely cover with foil.

Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for a further 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
