Baked Ziti

• Ready: Pasta’s boiled, sauce is simmering, and you’ve got a crowd to feed. What to do?

  Set: Layer noodles, sauce, and cheese in a casserole dish. Keep the layers even and add enough sauce so the pasta stays tender.

  Go: Bake uncovered until the top bubbles and turns golden. Let it rest before scooping to keep the slices intact.

  Time: ~45 min
  Difficulty: Easy
  Subs: Use penne or rigatoni if you’re out of ziti or swap cottage cheese for ricotta
  Equipment: 9×13 baking dish

30-sec tip: When baking banana or pumpkin bread, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a rack. Allowing it to rest keeps the edges tender and prevents the bottom from getting soggy.

Common fix-ups:
If the loaf’s top surface cracked or domed too much, the oven temperature was likely set too high. Next time, lower the setting by 25°F to allow the loaf to rise more evenly.
