Video: Baked Ziti


Ziti receives its name from the Italian language, where it means "bridegrooms". Although the common form of ziti is about 2 inches in length, the name makes more sense when considering the original, classic form of ziti - over 18 inches long.




A quick and easy way for college students, or anyone on the go, to make baked ziti casserole is as follows:


1 bottle tomato sauce, 1 medium tub of ricotta cheese, desired amount of mozzarella cheese as topping, 1 pound worth of ziti (usually one box), and desired amount of oregano


Boil the pasta in a pot. As this is being cooked, mix ricotta cheese, oregano, and tomato sauce until a smooth consistency and a creamy-pink color appears. Once the ricotta cheese-tomato sauce combination is added, mix in the pound of ziti. Transfer the entire mixture to the casserole dish, and top with a desired amount of mozzarella.


After putting the casserole dish into the oven, bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
