• Combine the ziti and cheese sauce.
• Put into casserole dish (I use glass) which has been well buttered with the remaining 1/4 stick of butter (use it all).
• Mix Ritz with enough butter to moisten the crackers (amount is entirely up to you, but make enough to cover the casserole completely) The more the better.
