How do you make zitti?

Question

They always talk about 'baked zitti' on the TV show 'The Sopranos', and it sounds delicious - but I'm not sure how to make it, or even what the recipe is! Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

I personally like ricotta in all my pasta dishes. Lasagna, stuffed shells, zitti ..... everything but linguine and spaghetti. I think it's crutial but my husband is a health nut so I've learned to substitute ricotta for small curd low fat cottage cheese. I say go get the ricotta.

Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing in gently Once this is done, go to the gym. This is VITAL. You MUST get some exercise. First of all, everyone could be in better shape. Now that you're back on the meat market, you NEED to get yourself looking good for the opposite sex. More importantly however, are the healing effects of a good workout. You will work out all of that frustration, self doubt, loathing (for her and yourself), pain and anger. The endorphin rush alone will help to bring peace to your mind and soul. And you'll look better! Do this for as long as you can. Once you've moved on, it's not going to hurt to stay in shape. Along these lines, get yourself some new clothes, a new cologne, and some new things to replace the ones you've boxed up.
Next, you must go out. You MUST go out a lot. Ask out girls you see that you like. You feel AWFUL right now. You feel like SHE was THE ONE, and you'll never do better. You're wrong. But, you feel this, I know. It doesn't get much worse does it? You're in the PERFECT position to ask out the little hotties you meet, why? Because rejection DOES NOT HURT after a breakup. I know, it sounds crazy, but it's true. You've lost "the one" and you feel lost, hurt, confused, angry, etc, right? So if the next little Betty you meet says "no thanks" when you ask her out, you'll be FINE with it. In fact, you probably won't get a "no thanks". 95% of the women you ever ask out will say yes. Believe me, now is the time to approach the unapproachable girls. Now is the time to lay it out on the line, because there's no way they can hurt you now.
