Baked Ziti Recipe

I just LOVE a pasta dishes! They’re easy to make and so delicious! If you love easy recipes, then my baked ziti is sure to make you SO super happy! Yes, there are a ton of variations out there…and the one I’m making is a meatless one, so you’re vegetarian friends will be sure to love it! However, feel free to brown up some ground beef or crumbled italian sausage to add some delicious meat flavor to it. With or without meat, you simply can not go wrong with this recipe! Here’s the recipe, and I hope you enjoy it!

  • In large pyrex pan (or dish of choice), pour in your pasta mix.

  • It's ready to serve with a side salad and some yummy garlic bread!

    I love creating fun, easy, and delicious recipes for everyone in the family to enjoy and make. With my family of 9 (11 if you count my two pups!), I have to make meals for all different tastes and in a short amount of time. When I'm not busy cooking, I'm taking care of my special needs sister, Angela..which you can read all about our journey!
