The Cheesiest Baked Pasta Ever (Baked Ziti 2 Ways)

Ah yes, lasagna's cousin... or well not really but this is a much easier, arguably cheesier, casserole style pasta dish that is full of well... lots of cheese, rich meaty tomato sauce, and of course ziti pasta. But we are taking it several steps further to take it far beyond what it normally is.

This episode gives off heavy, Ina Garten Barefoot Contessa “if you can’t find organic rose water infused with the tears of a virgin, store bought is fine” vibes. hahaha

If I had the money to be able to afford Josh’s version and put that in my mouth I think I’d hear angel sing and fly to heaven and cry

This guy really makes sure we have everything we need to try to make his recipes. He has a cook book coming out. He has a link to his website with the recipe. He has a link to all his cooking tools he uses. And he makes sure he gives us both types of measurements and Fahrenheit and Celsius for all his viewers to understand.

I've prioritized taking care of my mind, having fun, and doing things that make me laugh. And eating well - as in, really good food, like steak or pasta or fresh vegetables or an amazing dessert. You know, 'treat yourself.' Love from Korea 🇰🇷💕

Anytime a new video releases I get instantly hungry 🤤

Btw in Italy it's just "pasta al forno" meaning backed pasta, so you can use whatever pasta you want

[cheddarUSA]

I love the simple recipes you make, they are so easy to follow and simple. Really makes a huge difference for home cooks like me

You should do a vid where the camera men/editors battle it out to see who the best cook is by following one of your own tutorials that they filmed/edited.

Me who's going to make baked macaroni: **Laughs in rebel**

Okay, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!
I had to change it up a little bit and these will be my notes.
I used bacon and red onion and added mushrooms. Used 1 3/4 tsp of fennel. I used 1 1/4 lbs of Italian sausage and 3/4 lbs of spicy sausage and a 1 lbs of hamburger, which ended up being to much meat for one can of sauce, so I added another big can. I did add 1 tbls of Italian seasoning for each can. I had a quart of sauce left over. Which is okay since it dam good! My daughter doesn't like ricotta so I used very little and I put Basel, parsley and tsp garlic powder and grated parmesan in it (no eggs). The cheese I had to substitute Mozzarella, Monterey and grated parmesan. I wish I had a deeper 9x13 dish to fit it all.
My wife loves lasagna and said this just took it place. I had 2 helpings it was sooo good. Daughter said it was okay but she's picky. That okay because more for us.
Thank you for this delicious recipe and it's going into my favorite file.

I love a good baked ziti! Josh, you mentioned your mom making it for you. My mom generally wasn't big on Italian foods, but she did make a mean lasagna. Especially later in my teen years, when she started putting pepperoni in it. It was so good!

Another of my favorite meals that she used to make was, she'd put smoked sausage, cabbage and potatoes in a casserole dish and bake it until the potatoes got soft. It was just magical!

By the power of my italianness: Looks legit. Only thing I personally oppose tho, is the use of sugar in the sauce. I know you said it's optional, but I always say that baking soda works much better. Once the bubbling goes away, you have a nice sweet tomato taste without the added "candy" flavor that too much sugar can give. Baking powder neutralizes the bitterness without altering the tomato sweetness (it makes a difference IMO).

"Quattro formaggi" because "formaggio" is singular. But my rating is infinite ziti/olive oil anyway c: Love you Papa <3

[yesenialozoya]

I combined some of both recipes and it came out delicious! Thank you for the recipes

[emilypaulino]

I love how I said I wanted to cook a special dinner a couple weeks back for my S.O and I asked him what his favorite food was and he said Ziti. So happy I found it under one of my fav cooking channels 💛 it came right on time
