Freezer Meal Baked Ziti is an easy to make pasta freezer meal. Pasta freezer meals made with ground beef are very easy to assemble and prep for the freezer. Perfect for stocking your freezer.
Make meat sauce in advance or use 5 cups of jarred pasta sauce. Mix ricotta cheese with egg, salt, pepper, and parsley; refrigerate. Boil ziti and rinse with cold water.
Divide pasta between two large freezer trays. Stir 1 to 1½ cups of sauce into each tray, followed by ½ to ¾ cups of the ricotta mixture. Mix well to evenly combine.
Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella to each tray and stir. Spread remaining sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella on top. Cover with cardboard lids, crimp edges, and freeze.
Thaw overnight. For oven: bake uncovered at 375°F for 30–45 minutes until hot and bubbly. For microwave: heat loosely covered 4–5 minutes, checking after 3, until cheese is melted and center is hot.
