Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 3 quart baking dish or 9X13 baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
Boil the ziti based on the package instructions to al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mix bowl, stir together the remaining pasta ingredients (marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, ricotta cheese, fontina cheese and mozzarella cheese). Then gently fold the cooked ziti into this sauce mixture. Then gently pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan.
In a separate bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. Evenly sprinkle the topping mixture on top of the pasta in the pan.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
For the cheese – If you cannot find fontina cheese in your area, you can use Monterey Jack Cheese instead.

Make sure that the noodles are not cooked all the way through as they will cook further in the oven.

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
