10 Easy Steps for Baked Ziti Recipe

March 21, 2019 | Search Recipes Here

One of the most comforting scents in life is the smell of tomato sauce, cheese, and pasta baking. Pasta dishes are appealing to both children and adults, which is why baked ziti is such a popular dish. Not only is it inexpensive to make, but it is also really quite delicious. Baked ziti shares a lot of the same ingredients with lasagna.

However, baked ziti is much easier to throw together than a lasagna because you do not have to really worry about layering everything together. Baked ziti provides the same satisfaction as eating lasagna without the fussiness.

If you are craving a cheesy pasta dish, baked ziti is seriously simple and can be put together in a short amount of time. However, there are some important steps to consider when it comes to putting together the perfect baked ziti. Here are ten easy steps for making the perfect baked ziti.

1. It’s All About the Sauce

One of the main issues that many people have when they are making baked ziti is that it turns out dry. The reason for this dryness is because the pasta sucks up a ton of sauce during the baking process. One of the easiest ways to fix this issue is to make sure that you are quite generous with the sauce.

If you are being ambitious and want to make your own marinara, make sure that you make a lot of it. You can also choose to use a premade marinara sauce and just doctor it up with some garlic and sauteed onions.

You can add as many spices and herbs to the sauce as you want. Remember, this is your baked ziti and you want the sauce to be flavorful. Without a good marinara sauce, your baked ziti is not going to have much flavor, which can be disappointing.
