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:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This is especially important for vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in a recipe to suit your own taste. Taste the dish as you cook and add more salt, pepper, or other spices as needed.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooked food is tough and dry. Cook your food just until it is done, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Presentation Matters: Take the time to plate your food attractively. This will make it more enjoyable to eat and will impress your guests.
