I had this baked ziti and my life was complete.

Luffy who eats food like a damn animal, and drinks like he hasn’t for years but the MOMENT aforementioned drink is in a tea cup??? He is the prettiest princess in the world. I’m talking fine china (WITH the saucer) pinky out as he slurps the tea (LOUDLY) and lets out the most OBNOXIOUS groan afterwards like he just drank the best drink in the world EVER (he often goes “what a delicious cup of tea!” or “it’s good for the soul!” like an old lady). Luffy LOVES teatime, he gets snacks AND delicious warmth from the tea (Luffy the certified warmth seeker)?? It’s a win win in his mind. He HATES coffee though (he will down a cup expeditiously but that’s neither here nor there) it’s bitter, not sweet, and also doesn’t have all the fun flavors tea can have. The only way he will enjoy a cup of coffee is if Sanji made it, and that’s because he enjoys anything his good and cherished friend Sanji makes. I mean Sanji could whip up hot dirtworm water and Luffy would down that shit like baked ziti.

Jummah Mubarak to all of my Muslim friends

Shabbat Shalom to all of my Jewish friends,

And a decent ziti recipe for all those who partake. (Probably consider adjusting the ratios a little bit and add some fresh sweet basil leaves.)

Stolen Best Baked Ziti Recipe

Ingredients

6 Servings

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

2¼ cups whole milk, slightly warmed

2½ cups grated Parmesan, divided

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

¼ cup olive oil

1 ounce pancetta (Italian bacon), finely chopped

1 large onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, chopped

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 28-ounce can plus 1 14-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

1 pound ziti, penne, or rigatoni

1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into ½-inch pieces

Preparation

• Step 1

Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium until foamy. Sprinkle flour over and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in warm milk. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, whisking often, until béchamel is thickened to about the consistency of heavy cream and no longer feels grainy when rubbed between your fingers, 8–10 minutes (thoroughly cooking the mixture ensures a creamy sauce and eliminates any raw flour flavor). Remove from heat and add 2 cups Parmesan, whisking until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Cook pancetta, stirring often, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is golden and soft, 8–10 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add whole peeled tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you go, and season with salt and pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until slightly reduced and flavors have melded, 20–25 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender; pulse until mostly smooth (or use an immersion blender and purée directly in pot). Stir in basil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 5 minutes (the pasta will continue to cook in the oven); drain.

Step 5

Transfer reserved béchamel to a large bowl; add pasta and mozzarella and toss to combine. Add all but 1 cup tomato sauce and gently fold mixture a few times, leaving streaks of béchamel.

Step 6

Transfer pasta mixture to a 13x9-inch or other 3-quart baking dish, dollop with remaining tomato sauce, and scatter remaining Parmesan over pasta. Bake until mozzarella is melted and sauce is bubbling around the edges, 15–20 minutes.

Step 7

Heat broiler. Broil, until pasta and cheese are dark brown in spots, about 4 minutes. Let pasta sit 5 minutes before serving.
