Description

Baked ziti is a comforting Italian-American dish made with pasta, typically ziti (a tube-shaped pasta), coated in a rich, savory marinara sauce and blended with a generous amount of melted cheese, usually mozzarella and ricotta. The pasta and sauce are layered together in a baking dish, often seasoned with garlic, herbs, and sometimes ground meat like beef or sausage. Once assembled, it’s baked in the oven until the cheese is golden and bubbly, creating a flavorful, cheesy crust on top while the inside remains saucy and tender. It’s the perfect hearty, cheesy casserole that’s both satisfying and full of rich flavors.
