Baked Ziti

1 pound Ziti, Rigatoni, Mostaccioli or other medium pasta shape, uncooked
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 14.5-oz. can low-sodium diced tomatoes, drained
1 15-oz. container low-fat ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup skim milk
1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil (or 1 tbsp. dried)
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside in
large bowl. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Spray a non-stick skillet with
vegetable oil cooking spray. Heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté
until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 more minute. Remove
from heat. Stir in tomatoes. Place ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups of the
mozzarella cheese, 2 tbsp. of the Parmesan cheese and milk in a food
processor or blender. Process until smooth. Add the tomato and cheese
mixtures, parsley, basil and pepper to the cooked pasta. Toss well to
combine. Spray a 2 1/2 to 3 quart (an 8 or 9 x 12-inch oblong dish works
well) baking dish with vegetable spray. Spoon the pasta mixture into the
dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tbsp. Parmesan
cheeses. Bake at 400° F for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serves 8
