- Bechamel sauce: Heat butter in a medium sauce pan until melted. Add flour and stir until smooth. Cook over medium heat until light golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in separate pan until just about to boil.
- Add milk to butter mixture 1 cup at a time, whisking continuously until very smooth and bring to a boil. Cook 30 seconds and remove from heat. Season with nutmeg and 2 teaspoons salt and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and add 2 tablespoons salt (optional).
- Cook Ziti for 30 seconds less than the package instructions.
- Add Marinara Sauce, bechamel sauce, mozzarella, and grated cheese to the ziti and mix well.
- Divide ziti and sauce mixture among six individual gratin dishes. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until bubbling and crusty on top. Serve immediately.
