  • Ah yes, lasagna's cousin... or well not really but this is a much easier, arguably cheesier, casserole style pasta dish that is full of well... lots of cheese, rich meaty tomato sauce, and of course ziti pasta. But we are taking it several steps further to take it far beyond what it normally is.

    By the power of my italianness: Looks legit. Only thing I personally oppose tho, is the use of sugar in the sauce. I know you said it's optional, but I always say that baking soda works much better. Once the bubbling goes away, you have a nice sweet tomato taste without the added "candy" flavor that too much sugar can give. Baking powder neutralizes the bitterness without altering the tomato sweetness (it makes a difference IMO).

I tend to over salt because I make my sauce with fresh tomato so it’s sweet and combats the saltiness but it’s all in your own feeling

    When I make baked pasta, I add some breadcrumbs to the grated cheese for the top half for some crunch.

    Also, in Italy we generally do "pasta al forno", which uses different pasta formats. In my region we usually go for rigatoni.

      Yes I am German, and even I am most familiar with Rigatoni al forno, I've actually never seen anyone use ziti for this here tbh.

    Okay, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!
    I had to change it up a little bit and these will be my notes.
    I used bacon and red onion and added mushrooms. Used 1 3/4 tsp of fennel. I used 1 1/4 lbs of Italian sausage and 3/4 lbs of spicy sausage and a 1 lbs of hamburger, which ended up being to much meat for one can of sauce, so I added another big can. I did add 1 tbls of Italian seasoning for each can. I had a quart of sauce left over. Which is okay since it sooooo dam good! My daughter doesn't like ricotta so I used very little and I put Basel, parsley and tsp garlic powder and grated parmesan in it (no eggs). The cheese I had to substitute Mozzarella, Monterey and grated parmesan. I wish I had a deeper 9x13 dish to fit it all.
    My wife loves lasagna and said this just took it place. I had 2 helpings it was sooo good. Daughter said it was okay but she's picky. That okay because more for us.
    Thank you for this delicious recipe and it's going into my favorite file.

    I love a good baked ziti! Josh, you mentioned your mom making it for you. My mom generally wasn't big on Italian foods, but she did make a mean lasagna. Especially later in my teen years, when she started putting pepperoni in it. It was so good!
    Another of my favorite meals that she used to make was, she'd put smoked sausage, cabbage and potatoes in a casserole dish and bake it until the potatoes got soft. It was just magical!

    But there is a funny thing, in italy we call it " Pasta al Forno" which means you can do it with whatever pasta you want, also penne!
    And lastly, I want to give you a little advice for the sauce: try to use a mix of onion, carrot, and celery to do the " soffritto" and it will be way, way better!
