Creating Creamy Baked Ziti with Broccoli & Alfredo Sauce is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to achieve this comfort food:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Boil Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Blanch Broccoli: In the same pot, add broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

4. Mix Cheeses: In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked ziti, blanched broccoli, and Alfredo sauce to the cheese mixture. Stir well until the pasta and broccoli are evenly coated.

6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread evenly.

7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

10. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley or basil on top for an added pop of color.
