Baked Ziti

Use tomato sauce instead of marinara. There's already a ton of seasonings. We also doubled ricotta and mozarella.

Added an extra cup of sauce.

Broiled it the last couple minutes for crispy cheese, and added a bit of red wine into the meat before adding the sauce. Really added a nice depth of flavor! I also mixed half of the mozzarella into the ricotta for more cheesiness throughout. Easy and delicious!

Made extra, used 2 boxes of rigatoni, 2 lbs of Italian sausage.

Use spinach and take out the sausage to make vegetarian.

Made by Allison for our family, can be prepped ahead of time. It was cheesy and delicious!

What's not to like about Ziti? I use Gardein plant based sausage.

32 oz sauce and more cheese

Originally I made it according to the recipe and only added pepperoni. The second and future times, I didn't add the ricotta. It was just as good and I'm not a big fan of ricotta.

Baked Ziti is one of my favorite things and you really can't mess it up. I don't toss my noodles in oil though. I use my own pasta sauce and I double up on the sausage and measure spices and herbs with my heart ❤️. Go-to meal for sure!

I thought it was dry🤔
