Cheater Lasagna Pasta

One of my husbands favorite meals is lasagna, but I don't always have the time to make during the week. I made this pasta in hopes of getting our lasagna fix, without so much preparation time...and it was a great success!

1 lbs. pasta-I used rotini
jarred pasta sauce-I used Newman's Own Marinara
3 Tbs. white wine
red pepper flakes to taste
1 cup ricotta
1 1/2 cup mozzarella
parmesan for topping

-Cook pasta in boiling, salted water. Drain. Put pasta back in pot, over medium heat toss with white wine and red pepper flakes, cook until wine is cooked off. Add enough sauce to coat all pasta, heat through. Stir in ricotta quickly, does not need to be smooth in sauce, some "lumps" are good. Put in an oven safe pot or 9x13, top with mozzarella and parmesan, and put under broiler until cheese is slightly brown and bubbly. Take out, and serve!
