HOW TO MAKE A KILLER BAKED ZITI

by Rebecca March 4, 2021

Love lasagna? Then, you should try this Baked Ziti – same flavour, tastes, and comfort but with less effort.

INGREDIENTS

SAUCE:

2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Organic Onion, finely chopped (1/2 c.)

3 Cloves Organic Garlic, finely chopped

5 c. Marinara Sauce (about 46 oz.)

1–2 tsp Sea Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 lb. dried Ziti or Penne pasta

1 c. Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese

1 Organic Egg

1/2 c. Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

8 ounces Freshly Grated Whole Milk Organic Mozzarella Cheese

8–12 slices Provolone cheese from the deli counter

HOW TO MAKE A KILLER BAKED ZITI

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees.

Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, saute the onion for about a minute or two until tender. Then, add in the garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook for a minute more.

Step 3: Pour in the marinara sauce and heat until hot.

Step 4: In the meantime, cook the pasta in rapidly simmering (not boiling) water for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until al dente. Drain.

Step 5: Combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese in a small bowl while the pasta is cooking. If desired, add a sprinkle of sugar.

Step 6: In the bottom of a 9 x 13=inch pan, pour 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat.

Step 7: In the prepared pan, add half of the pasta and half of the sauce, then stir to combine.

Step 8: Over the pasta place dollops of ricotta cheese and top with 4 to 6 slices of Provolone cheese followed by half of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 9: Do the same layers for the rest of the pasta, sauce, ricotta cheese, and cheeses, making sure the past is completely covered in the sauce.

Step 10: Top the final layer with fresh Parmesan cheese.

Step 11: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, uncovered.

Step 12: To get a nice brown bubbly cheese, broil the Ziti for a couple of minutes in the last minutes of cooking.
