I joined the "family" when there was only 5,000 of us. Now it's 49, 000 and it sure didn't take long. Must be one of those offers you can't refuse. Great food, information and tips plus you entertain us in the process. What's not to like? Forget about it. :o)

BEST baked Ziti recipe. my family loves it, me too.

Here is the written recipe that I wrote based on the video... Ingredients 6 cups prepared pasta sauce 1 lb dried ziti pasta 6 cups fresh mozarella, shredded 32 oz. strained ricotta cheese 1.5 cups pecorino romano cheese 1.5 cups parmesan reggiano cheese 8 oz. mascarpone cheese ½ cup breadcrumbs 4 tbsp. melted butter freshly ground pepper salt olive oil (Joe and Vito’s, of course) Preparation 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Bring 6 qt. of water to a boil, making sure it is generously salted like sea water. Add a few breadcrumbs to the boiling water, then add dried ziti, stirring immediately. Boil ziti about 10 minutes until it’s al dente. 3. Add a splash of olive oil to the bottom of a large bowl. Transfer hot pasta to the bowl and toss in olive oil. Add salt and fresh pepper to taste and toss. 4. Add parmesan, pecorino romano, and mozzarella cheeses to pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of each for the topping. 5. Add all of the ricotta and mascarpone to the pasta mixture and stir to combine. 6. Prepare large baking dish and ladle about 3 cups of pasta sauce on the bottom, spreading evenly. Gently add all of the pasta mixture and spread evenly. Top with another layer of pasta sauce, spreading evenly. 7. Place baking dish in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. 8. Meanwhile, combine remaining cheese, breadcrumbs, and butter for topping. 9. After pasta has baked for 15-20 minutes, evenly spoon topping over it and cook for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. 10. Let rest for at least 15 minutes and then serve.

Joe, I have made so many of your recipes now. Haven't made a bad dish yet. Thanks for making me a star in the kitchen!

Joe, Thank you so much for doing this video. I made this baked ziti with your sauce and it was a huge hit with all my guests. I'm looking forward to making more of your recipes.

I tried this about three times already and made it for Christmas Eve dinner. Great to have as a ready to go dinner on a crazy busy night like Christmas Eve! This is amazing!!!!

Thanks, Joe! Looks like another terrific dish.

Joe, you have me drooling each time you make one of your delicious recipes. Blessings to you and your family.

Looks awesome. Loving these videos.

I love your channel, just found it the other day. YES, cooking to music always makes my sauce taste better!

This was such a great video, I loved your recipe, your energy and now you have a new subby. Thanks again.. Im making my Ziti right NOW

Oh my! 🤗 that looks scrumptious!

Yum! Going to make this tonight! 😊 thankyou!

Holy Moly I M TRYING THIS!

This looks excellent, Joe.

OH MY GOSH....this looks so wonderful! I am going to make this Wednesday when my kids come by for dinner. Thank you so much!

You're a great cook, Joe!

Okay...so I made this today and wow...was the best ziti we ever had. I have a feeling the mascarpone cheese helped it be creamy and rich and not dry in any way. Nor was it too clumpy cheesy, just perfect. I never would have thought of adding that myself. Had to put under broiler for some reason to get the topping to be dry though a few minutes at the end. I've tried five recipes so far and all were great. Next I'm gonna try that olive oil. Can't wait for it to arrive. :)

Wow, I'm making this tomorrow!!!!

My God my mouth has gone to heaven I can't wait until I bake this this weekend

love it joe grazie mille ....! x

My mouth's watering Joe, and I can smell it through You Tube! Nice job man...

Joe: OMG...It’s a good darn mess! And hands down looks like the most delicious baked pasta dish I have ever eaten...thank you!

Italian food is da best.

Hey Joe What Brand Lasagna Casserole Dish are you using??? Thanks all the best

😆👊🏽dinner for a crowd or two very hungry people for several days. I warmed some up in the micro at work.... the looks I got.😳 Like “ are you sharing???”

I use the breadcrumbs with the pancetta and almonds from the chicken parmesan video and mix it with the mozzarella and butter and OMG

Is the ingredients and the measurements on your website???

Ok, I have a weird side note.... Lol, I love the layout of your home. The stairs right there with the kitchen. I duno, I love it !!! I Dnt think I have ever seen that before. Just seems so family orientated. Kids running around right in the middle of the kitchen where your cooking. 🤷 I prob sound weird, lol.... But I like it ... Anyway, love this recipe. Iv never had ziti in my life but I deff want to try this. thnx

I have one in the oven right now...if I could roll around in it, I so totally would. 🍅🍅🍅🧄🧄

Can you give me info on preparing ahead & how to cook it after removing from frig? This looks sooo good, l want to make it for company. Thx!

Cruel Joe, I am now so hungry if it was not so late 12.o2am I would probably go and make that 😛👍🇿🇦

Great video I love the Frank Sinatra song in the beginning

I'm assuming that you always have the marinara or spaghetti sauce already made up and just add the meat when you want it? I feel that ground sausage and beef add heaven to baked ziti.

Over da top!

I did! I did subscribe!

Looks good but I don't do ricotta cheese my family doesn't use it only for cookies.

Dame that shit looks so dame good I have to try this my boy told me about I say let me go up on line so I could see how to so this🤗🤗

JOE...WHAT IS THE REASON FOR ADDING BREAD CRUMBS TO YOUR WATER TO MAKE EXTRA STARCH?

Looksa molto delizioso. (Seems you bought the entire Pyrex inventory.) LOL

Hi Jenny do you still cook,bake?❤

It looks delicious. Growng up Italian too, I can't help but wonder what his cholesterol level is.

Damn

Please list ingredients and cooking information on your vids. ;)

Omg, I think I gained 10 pounds watching this lol ; ) Love when the cheese is stringy and hot... yum....

New subscriber. Where is the recipe?

Safety first, never ever bang a metal utensil against a grass bowl.

How about that, I have a family now..

LOVELY AMAZING YUMMY 😋 Z BEAUTIFUL THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,

This is crazy expensive and out of most peoples budget if you ask me .

Shouldn't you be about 300 lbs by now with all these delicious dishes you prepare??? Lol

I want a husband like Joe..

looks great, but isn't pasta supposed to be a relatively inexpensive dish? That must be at least $30 worth of cheese alone.

not likely its italian dinner looks good Joe

Too many cheeses. My family just likes the mozzarella and parmesan and romano cheeses.

Too many cheeses..and no ground beef/meat?🤔 All carbs/glut..no protein.

It’s fine unless you’re Italian.

Where's the beef? Too much cheeses for me.

The mascarpone has no purpose in the recipe and will just get lost here.
