Baked ziti pasta with broccoli

Ingredients:

• 16 ounces ziti pasta
• 1 medium egg
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 1/2 cups parmesan or mozzarella cheese, or an “Italian blend” variety
• 3 1/2 teaspoons seasoning(s) of your choice. I used Cavender’s Greek Seasoning; one of my favorites. I also like Jane’s Krazy Mixed-Up Salt and Mixed-Up Pepper, garlic salt, or 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning + 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.

1. Cook the pasta. When it is finished, drain and pour into a large mixing bowl.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
3. Add the broccoli pieces, egg, butter, 3 teaspoons of the seasoning, and 3 1/2 cups of the cheese to the mixing bowl (you will need some of the cheese and seasoning for topping later). Stir until everything is well-blended.
4. Carefully pour the mixture into a glass baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
5. Remove the dish. Top the noodles with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes.
6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning over the baked pasta. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
