ZITI BAKE
Many of my casserole recipes have been frowned upon by my children, but they give a cheer when they hear we're having Baked Ziti for supper. I've tried to incorporate more meatless meals into our menus, which is how this baked ziti without meat got started. No one misses the meat in this one. Even the leftovers are well-liked.-Charity Burkholder, Pittsboro, Indiana

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh vegetables, quality cheese, and a flavorful sauce.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta, make sure to use a large enough pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the dish together. Use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of flavors.
- Don't overcook the ziti: Once the ziti is cooked, don't let it sit in the sauce for too long. This will make it mushy.
