question about making baked ziti

I just read a recipe that said to add an egg to the mozzarella and ricotta...........
IS this necessary, I never did before?

I only do it in lasagna - not baked ziti - that same question came up in LIMom's tread on baked ziti.

No, I never added egg.

Just mix cooked ziti, gravy, ricotta, some cubed mozzerella in a pan. Spoon some gravy over the top. Sprinkle some shredded mozz over the top.

Good luck!!

I always add a beaten egg to my baked ziti... otherwise it all falls apart when you try to scoop it out.

tammy - it is up to you but I wouldn't consider the egg a requirement. It makes the ricotta - more binding - if that is the right word. Less mushy. I never use it but some people do. No harm either way.
