Cook the ziti pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain well and set aside.

4
Add the yellow onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
5
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, then add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
7
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Yaklaşık 15 dk.
Aşçının notu: The longer the sauce simmers, the richer the flavor.
8
In a separate large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, half of the parmesan cheese, the egg, and the fresh parsley.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
