Method

Fill a large pot with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; add ziti and cook about 20 minutes (pasta should be al dente.) Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, cook onion and garlic in oil on medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add herbs; cook 1 more minute, stirring frequently. Add tomatoes; bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes. Place pasta in a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour tomato sauce over; mix well. Top with cheese and bake, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.
