Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 11 minutes.
- While the ziti is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion to the hot skillet and cook until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and garlic powder; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Drain and discard grease. Stir in marinara sauce.
- Drain ziti and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over top, then layer with cottage cheese, meat sauce, and remaining mozzarella. Beat milk, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl, and pour over top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

PASTA BAKE WITH VODKA SAUCE
This is a simple, quick and relatively healthy pasta recipe (especially if you use whole wheat pasta and low fat cheese). I recommend using shorter pastas like penne, ziti, farfalle, macaroni or rotini. If you want to use spaghetti or linguine, break the noodles into thirds or quarters. You can also use any kind of sauce. I prefer vodka tomato sauce, but I've also used garlic basil, and it tasted great. I also stick the dish under the broiler for a minute or two after it's done baking to make the cheese brown and crispy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Boil pasta in hot water until just underdone (two minutes or so less than the instructions on the box).
- While the pasta is cooking, heat oil and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add peppers and mushrooms to the saucepan and sautee until just tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Drain pasta.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix sautéed vegetables, fresh tomatoes, 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley
- Add vodka tomato sauce and 1 cup of the low fat Mozzarella cheese and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish. I use a 9" X 5" bread pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese and the remaining Tablespoon of Parsley over the top of the pasta.
- Bake at 375 degrees for ten minutes or until the cheese on top is brown and bubbly.
