Creating Olive Garden Five-Cheese Ziti al Forno is a breeze 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, cook the ziti pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
4. Combine with Marinara: In another bowl, mix the cooked ziti pasta with marinara sauce and half of the mozzarella and provolone cheese.
5. Layer the Ziti: In a large baking dish, layer half of the pasta mixture. Spoon half of the cheese mixture over the pasta, then sprinkle with half of the Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
6. Top with Cheese: Cover the top layer with the remaining mozzarella and provolone cheese.
7. Slide into the Oven: Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the top and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
9. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
