#BakedZiti

[pandoricasims]

A comforting twist on classic Chicken Parmesan, this baked ziti combines tender pasta, flavorful marinara sauce, shredded chicken, and gooey melted cheese for a hearty and satisfying meal.

Ingredients: 12 oz ziti pasta. 2 cups shredded cooked chicken. 2 cups marinara sauce. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Instructions: Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C. Follow the directions on the package to cook the ziti pasta until it is al dente. Remove the water and set it aside. Warm up the olive oil in a big pan over medium-low heat. For about one minute, until the garlic smells good, add the minced garlic. Put in the chicken shreds, marinara sauce, oregano that has been dried, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together well, then let it cook for 5 minutes. The cooked ziti pasta should be mixed with the chicken marinara mixture in a large bowl. Mix the pasta until it's all covered. Put half of the pasta mixture into a baking dish that has been greased. Put some mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top of the pasta. Just half of it. Cover with the rest of the pasta mixture and top with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Put foil over the baking dish and bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes. Once you take off the foil, bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Before serving, top with chopped fresh basil. Have fun!

Baked Ziti With Ground Turkey Recipe (Yummy!)

The perfect weeknight dinner is Easy Baked Ziti with savory ground turkey in a pool of zesty tomato-based marinara sauce. My favorite pasta dishes are those that are quick to prepare and ready in under 45 minutes. Although turkey baked ziti is simple and requires little effort or ingredients, it is filling and nutrient dense.

WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS EASY BAKED ZITI?

This ziti is incredibly simple to make, thanks in large part to the use of shredded mozzarella as the only cheese. Oh, and perhaps some grated Parmesan for garnish, but that's it. I've never been a fan of soft cheeses. However, ricotta and cottage cheese are at the top of my list of cheeses that I despise. Perhaps it's the lumps? It has to be the lumps, of course. I make this for my family all the time, and I prepare it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to cook. It doesn't get any simpler than this.

WHAT IS BAKED ZITI?

Baked ziti is a delicious Italian-American pasta dish. It's loaded with cheese, pasta, sauce, and ground meat that's baked until ooey-gooey and delicious! Alternative Baked Ziti With Ground Turkey Recipe Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DjJFkMHM5c Baked Ziti With Ground Turkey Recipe Video How to prepare and cook Healthy Recipes: Baked Ziti with Ground Turkey 3 - 16 oz. box whole wheat pasta 2 medium yellow onions, diced 3 pounds ground turkey 6 - 24 oz. bottles of tomato sauce 1 cup Parmesan cheese 1 - 12 oz. package mozzarella

CAN YOU MAKE BAKED ZITI AHEAD OF TIME?

You can certainly prepare baked ziti ahead of time. Here are two approaches: - Brown the turkey, cook the pasta until al dente, shred the cheese, and place all ingredients in an airtight container in the fridge for the next day or two. When you're ready to bake, take all of the ingredients out of the fridge, assemble the baked ziti, and bake as directed. - Assemble the baked ziti in the baking dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for a day or two. Then bake as directed.

Baked Ziti With Ground Turkey

INGREDIENTS YOU'LL NEED:

- Turkey, ground (ground chicken, or beef works too) - Penne pasta made from whole wheat or whole grain (for added fiber) - Cheese Mozzarella (or your choice of cheese blend) - The parmesan cheese (for added flavor but optional) - Tomato-based pasta sauce, either store-bought or homemade (choose your favorite store brand to save time)

WHAT MAKES THIS BAKED ZITI HEALTHY?

- Turkey for protein – Instead of beef or sausage, this recipe uses turkey for the meat. You can use them, but turkey is a much leaner meat, so this dish is higher in protein and lower in fat. - Whole wheat pasta – When available, whole wheat pasta is always a better option! Whole grains are much better for you and will help you feel fuller for longer. - Less cheese – This healthy baked ziti pasta recipe contains far less cheese than many other recipes. But I promise you won't miss it – it's perfectly cheesy as it is.

HOW TO MAKE BAKED ZITI WITH GROUND TURKEY?

Easy Baked Ziti With Ground Turkey - Brown the turkey in a frying pan, then add chopped onion and minced garlic to the meat along with kosher salt and pepper for flavor. - After the meat has browned, add your favorite tomato-based pasta sauce and allow it to simmer with the meat mixture. This is an excellent time to conduct a taste test to ensure that your meat mixture has been properly seasoned. Add a dash of Italian seasoning for extra flavor. - Boil water, season with a generous pinch of salt, and cook the pasta until al dente (it's important not to overcook your pasta because the ziti will also bake in the oven). - Combine the pasta with the meat sauce (Be mindful of the sauce to pasta ratio as you do not want your pasta to absorb all of your meat sauce which could result in a dry pasta dish). - Place the pasta in a baking dish that has been prepared (that has been rubbed with a little softened butter to prevent sticking). - A generous amount of mozzarella cheese or other cheese blend should be added. - Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake at 400°F until the cheese is bubbling. - Remove the aluminum foil and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes if you prefer a slightly brown crusty top.

HOW DO YOU STORE BAKED ZITI OVERNIGHT?

Baked ziti can be stored overnight in the following ways: - When the ziti has cooled, remove it from the baking dish and store it in an airtight container in the fridge as leftovers for the next day. - After the ziti has baked, leave it in the baking dish and tightly wrap it in plastic wrap to store in the fridge.

HOW LONG DO YOU COOK BAKED ZITI THAT WAS REFRIGERATED?

Perfect Baked Ziti Recipe Cooking refrigerated baked ziti is dependent on two factors: - If you're cooking baked ziti that was made ahead of time, the cooking time may be longer due to the cold temperature of the dish. This may necessitate an additional 10 minutes of cooking time. - If you're warming up leftover baked ziti from the night before - this will take less cooking time because the ziti is already cooked and you're just "heating up" at this point. This could take 10 to 15 minutes in a 375°F oven.

SHOULD I COVER BAKED ZITI IN THE OVEN?

Yes, before putting baked ziti in the oven, cover it with aluminum foil. This is true whether you're making baked ziti or reheating leftovers. If you do not cover the baked ziti with aluminum foil, the top layer will cook faster than the rest of the baked ziti, resulting in uneven cooking. Furthermore, it will harden and dry the pasta noodles on top.

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT PASTA SHAPE?

If you can't find ziti (a smooth, tubular-shaped pasta), penne or rigatoni can be substituted in this recipe. Rigatoni is the most similar to ziti, with the exception of having ridges and being slightly shorter and wider.

HOW TO STORE THE LEFTOVERS?

Baked Ziti with Turkey Ground This Baked Ziti can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. I recommend dividing the leftovers into single servings to allow them to cool quickly in the refrigerator. This recipe yields 8 large servings, so after they've completely cooled in the refrigerator, transfer a few to the freezer for longer storage. Then, with a quick microwave, each serving becomes a filling last-minute dinner!

Frequently Asked Questions

Should baked ziti be baked covered or uncovered?Covered baked ziti should be baked first to keep it moist and not dry out. The cover should be removed at the end of the cooking process.How is baked ziti different from lasagna?Baked ziti is not the same as lasagna. Lasagna is made by layering long flat noodles with ground meat, cheese, and sauce. Baked ziti is cooked pasta that has been tossed with meat, cheese, and sauce before being baked.Can I add vegetables to baked ziti?Yes, vegetables can be added to baked ziti. We recommend finely diced carrots or chopped spinach.How do I make baked ziti not dry?Half of the mozzarella should be layered into the pasta, with the other half reserved for the top. It bakes to a golden brown color, which is the mark of a good pasta casserole. Make sure there's enough sauce to make a layer on top, under the mozzarella. This will keep the pasta from drying out by insulating it.
