Baked Ziti Recipe

Ever wondered how to make a very tasty Baked Ziti dish for dinner? This Baked Ziti recipe will guide you on all the necessary steps. I will also visually demonstrate how I cooked this dish through the video below. I think that these resources are enough to get you going.

I love pasta and noodles. In fact, this pasta dish is my next go to comfort food next to chicken noodle soup. The climate in my location has something to do with it. Anyway, before we proceed, let me quickly talk about some of the ingredients used in the recipe. The Ziti is the regular pasta in a box that you can purchase in the supermarket. Cook it according to package instructions. The pasta sauce used for this recipe is traditional. You can use meaty sauces or even the tomato and basil varieties. Speaking of basil, I also incorporated some dried basil and oregano. It helps the dish taste and smell fresh.

Baked Ziti

The secret to a tasty Ziti dish (aside from the sauce) is to use the proper meat. Sure – you can use regular ground beef, but it won’t give you the taste that ground Italian sausage can. I highly recommend using this if you want your dish to stand out.

This Baked Ziti recipe version uses a variety of cheeses to make it rich and flavorful. These are Ricotta, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. The recipe below will show you when each cheese should be added.
