| Can someone please link me to a super easy baked ziti recipe? Or post the easy steps. No meat. Jarred sauce. |
|
My husband hates ricotta so I use this. I skip the meat, onion, basil and use 1 jar of sauce.

| The recipe on the San Giorgio ziti pasta box is simple and foolproof. |

| The NYT Cooking Alison Roman recipe is very good. |
| Do you really need a recipe for that ? |
| For the San Giorgio recipe, are the measurements for fresh herbs? Should I use less if using dried herbs? |
In general, you use half the amount of dried for fresh. |

I've never used a formal recipe.
One box of pasta (16 oz). One tub of ricotta cheese Some mozzarella cheese Some tomato sauce Boil pasta. Once you pour pasta in, preheat the oven to whatever you want. Lower the temp, longer it takes to cook (duh). Pour a tiny bit of sauce into bottom of huge bowl. Pour all cooked pasta into it. Pour tub of ricotta cheese in. Pour more sauce in. Mix all around until you like how it looks. More sauce = less dry. Spray Pam into baking dish. Carefully pour/spoon mixture into baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese to your liking. Bake until mozzarella cheese looks cooked to your liking. |
If the recipe doesn’t specify fresh or dried, do you assume fresh? |
Depends on how much they're asking for. 2 teaspoons of thyme? Probably dried. 2 tablespoons of thyme? Probably fresh. |
I'm 11:42 and have had friends eat my baked ziti, try to replicate it, and get the proportions all wrong and have it come out poorly. So, some people do. |
| The San Giorgio recipe calls for dried herbs. |
| I replace ricotta with cottage cheese, or a 50-50 mix. It ups the protein, and for the cottage cheese haters, you can't even taste it as being cottage cheese. |
