Baked Ziti is an easy, saucy, and cheesy pasta casserole. It has all of the great flavors of lasagna but is much easier to make as a pasta bake with ziti or penne noodles.

The subtles cover the process in the video
I ordered baked ziti today in a pizzeria and I thought "baked" is pronounced as "bake ed" and he thought I was saying "bacon" and I said no. I pointed out the sign and he said, "oh, the baked ziti" and he pronounced it as "bayk". My bad, lol
I love it
Hi Natasha, I used your Ziti recipe for my post Thanksgiving dinner. My son had requested it so I looked around for a recipe and chose yours, it was delicious, I feel really proud of myself since this was my very first time. Thanks for the video.
Made this for thanksgiving. Second time k make it and everyone LOVES IT. Thank you!
Made this once for my husband and he requested again for td (Thanksgiving)🥺❤
Thank you so much, you helped me with a recipe on what to make for Thanksgiving this Thursday
Awesome video work. Very creative I’m making this tonight I wish I watched a video before going to the store but I think I’ll do OK Thursday night 2022 November
Where you from?
AMAZING!!!
Don’t forget to spread your down tempo evenly.
Beautiful. Very clear and concise with direction. Dream big, be grateful, and cook often. Thanks!
What brand lasagna dish are you using? The link says "Staub", but they don't look quite the same, and the Staub ones have "Staub" in raised letters on the handle. I like the one you use on your videos.
Hello looks delicious Enjoy
Making this now but I season my ricotta
Sell a T-Shirt. " Do Not Skip!"
Nicely presented, quick and straight forward 👍🏻
Im making this for the second time since watching your video four weeks ago! 15 min and it will be out of the oven! It is soooo good!! You are so cute and funny as well!
We had some friends over the weekend for dinner and I made this pasta as the main course. It turned out to be everyone’s favorite. It was so delicious and so easy to put together. Thank you so much Natasha.
Looks good
Omg looks freaking good. I love baked ziti. Can you still make it even if you don't have all the ingredients
This is so yummy I have made this ziti 3 times now and it was a hit with my family thank you Natasha ❤❤❤❤
I made this and HOLY CRAP it's the best baked ziti ever 👏
I did this today !!, so good !!!!, 😋 yummy , delicious, thanks for sharing!!!
I made it. For some reason, my beef released lots of water. I should’ve drained it. Didn’t taste bad, but didn’t look like Natasha’s.😢
Hi Natasha.
So want to make this but parmesan cheese is not available in my country.
Can I have a substitute?
SHE IS WRONG
Pretty lady you had me laughing when you smash that onion!! Love your video. Thank you for all the info.
I know the video is 2 years old but I just made this yesterday and it was incredible. Parents liked it too. This is the only recipe I’ll use
Delicious love the recipe
Yummy food 💗💗
Made this again tonight. It’s in the oven. Love it! Yum! 😋
When you percieve time unlinear, there is no such thing as "too soon" or "too late". There are only two words: Baked Ziti.

It was delicious but a bit too saucy for me. I will hold back a little on that next time but this was still the best I’ve ever made. Thank you so much!
Delicious, my favorite recipe.
You are totally adorable.
It looks yummy. I'm going to make some.😋
I am your new subscriber and definitely will make this dish. I can’t stop watching your videos. Thank you for all the recipes, you inspire me to cook a home meal.
Yummyness and stuff.😎
Hi right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite dishes to make and how long have you been on YouTube for
mmmmmm
Easier to cook the onions first till yellow then add meat
It looks absolutely delicious 😋
I always use my left over homemade pasta gravy (make a little more then I need) so it’s an easy quick meal…so it has a different flavor every time I make it
