Baked Ziti in a mug

This is a variation on the lasagna in a mug, I made it using freshly pressed pasta but you can substitute with regular boxed pasta. 
Due to its mug constraints, this is a Weight Watchers friendly meal. 

Ingredients: 
3/8 Cup of Joe's Homemade Pasta Sauce
56g of Ziti or Rigatoni
28g of Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
28g of Park Skim Mozzarella Cheese Grated
13g of Parmesan Cheese Grated
* Sea Salt (best for homemade pasta), use Kosher for boxed pasta

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a saucepan bring water and salt to a boil.  Once boiling, add pasta and boil until all floats, remove from heat and strain. 

In a mug (http://www.shopworldkitchen.com/corningware/french-white-pop-ins-mug-1035985) mix together pasta, 1/4 cup sauce, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. Stir together until well blended. Top with remaining 1/4 cup of sauce and a layer of Parmesan cheese.  

Place in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until cheese begins to bubble. 


Serving: 
This is recommended to be served on a trivet, towel, or other plate as the mug will be extremely hot. 

Nutrition Info: 
Using part skim cheeses this weighs in at 9 Weight Watchers Points Plus Points.
