Re: Baked Ziti help

I take one pound of pasta, 4 cheese ragu sause, entire jar, 8oz mozzerella shredded, small container of ricotta, cook pastat, mix all ingredients together and bake at 350 until brown

Re: Baked Ziti help

Bertolli Tomato and basil is good jar
I just use mozzarella and sauce
for lasagna I use both

Re: Baked Ziti help

do you just mix the cheeses together or do you put egg in it as well? I dont think I did last time, cant remember though.

Re: Baked Ziti help

I never did egg
if you use both you layer
sauce, pasta, mozz, ricotta, more sauce, more pasta
etc

Re: Baked Ziti help

thank you!!!!!!!!

Re: Baked Ziti help

I think you only need to use an egg if you need the cheese to stay together (like lasagne or stuffed shells).

For ziti I just throw a jar of sauce (usually home made marina or prego meat sauce) with mozz, ricotta and a box of ziti pasta into a big pan and bake until the cheese on top starts to brown a little.

Re: Baked Ziti help

thank you!

Re: Baked Ziti help

I never put an egg in it, and I make it all the time. My FMIL does not use ricotta when she makes her, but uses twice the amount of mozzerella.

Re: Baked Ziti help

i just use a jar of sauce, box of ziti, shredded mozzarella and medium size of ricotta (FI loves the stuff). mix and bake at 350 until brown and bubbly!!!

Re: Baked Ziti help

Re: Baked Ziti help

Makes me hungry! I want baked ziti now!

Re: Baked Ziti help

I want to make it with a little chopped meat mixed in. Do you just cook the chopped meat and then mix it with the rest of the ingredients and put it in the oven? Also, do you cover with foil before you put it in the oven? Help!
I want to make this tonight.

Re: Baked Ziti help

i cover before putting in the oven...but be careful since it could stick to the cheese...

I would ground the beef a little before combining

Re: Baked Ziti help

Ok, thats what I thought. I am going to cook up the meat and then mix it together with the rest. I will cover it in the oven. Should I add any spices to the meat?
