Creating this incredible dish is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, and cook the ziti until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ricotta, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, and romano cheeses. Mix well until smooth.
4. Season the Mixture: Add in salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Stir well.
5. Fold in Pasta: Gently fold the cooked ziti into the cheese mixture until well combined.
6. Layer the Dish: In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom. Pour half of the ziti and cheese mixture into the dish, and top with half of the remaining marinara sauce.
7. Add Remaining Cheese: Layer the second half of the ziti mixture and top with the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, and romano cheeses over the top.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
9. Cool and Garnish: Once baked, allow it to cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh basil or parsley.
10. Serve: Scoop out portions to serve hot, ensuring everyone gets a generous serving of the cheesy goodness!
