Mine's the easiest - although I'm sure the others taste better. My kids like it, and it takes less than 5 min. to do.

Spray a 9 x 13 with Pam.
Pour in 1 box raw ziti noodles.
Pour in 1 jar marinara sauce.
Put in 1 16 oz. container cottage cheese.
Put in 1 8 oz. bag shredded cheese.
Mix very well.
Pour in 1/2 jar hot water.
Cover well & put in 350 preheated oven for 1.5 hours.
Njoy!
