Cook the ziti pasta in boiling salted water for 1 minute less than the package instructions.

Meanwhile, add the Italian sausage to a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the sausage for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.

Add the chopped onions and continue cooking for 4-5 more minutes, or until onions have softened slightly.

Add the minced garlic, chopped basil, Italian seasonings, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir until well combined and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Pour in the marinara sauce, stir the mixture, and bring to a simmer.

Spread about ½ cup of the sauce mixture on the bottom of a large casserole dish.

Place half the amount of ricotta cheese into the dish, distributing it evenly over the sauce.

Add several large spoonfuls of sauce on top of the ricotta.

Add the cooked ziti pasta to the casserole dish, and top it with all of the remaining sauce and ricotta cheese.

Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan on top of the sauce.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese has completely melted.
