I'm Italian and we always mixed the ricotta cheese into the ziti so all of the pasta gets coated added the grated cheese with some fresh parsley salt and pepper and a pinch of ground nutmeg. In pan layer sauce ( which I and lots of Italians call gravy) coated ziti more grated cheese , lots of shredded mozzarella ,sauce and repeat . Yummo

Not Italian but I've been doing it your way all my life without the nutmeg...I will try that tomorrow...Thanks for the tips.

Nooooo. Not the nutmeg. You want an fresh and earthy taste. Not sweet. We’re Italian.. not chef boy Ardee.

@bigsistermaria5578 Жыл бұрын

@@Mexicobeanpole yesss, a tiny pinch is used in many savory dishes. Research nutmeg and lasagna and you will see that it is used by many . I come from many family members born in Italy and this is common there. Don't knock until you try it. Just a pinch. Don't forget when mixing the ricotta with salt and pepper and real good grated Italian cheese like pecorino romano or reggiano and chopped parsley there is barely a hint of the nutmeg. So whether I'm making lasagna or baked macaroni my homemade manicotti even spaghetti with ricotta and egg, or a savory dish with a bechamel sauce a pinch of nutmeg makes all the difference. 🙂

@sassyt1545 Жыл бұрын

@@Mexicobeanpole “Chef Boyardee”, what a rude thing to say. My mother, from Rome, always put just a dash of fresh nutmeg in her ricotta cheese mixture for lasagna. Nutmeg enhances the taste of the ricotta. Nutmeg is also used in béchamel sauced lasagnas, in Northen Italy.

I'm not in any way a natural cook- I am usually terrified of trying anything new. I absolutely love your videos. I'm embarrased to say I watch them at least three times before I try anything- not because your videos aren't fantastic but because I have no inherent cooking ability;) I made your Baked Ziti tonight! It was an hour late because I had to keep rewatching the video in pieces but I did it! It looks delicious! Bless you and your amazing family!

Pretty close to my momma’s recipe. She made her own sauce. Of course I still do. Not fond of skin and seeds from tomatoes so we use purée. The sauce simmers minimum 3 hours. Then we assemble the ziti. Sometimes as an alternative to sausage, my grandma would fry up some sliced eggplant as an added layer. Great for a lighter dish. Nice job. Very authentic. Thanks for respecting Italian traditional food. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@meredithinserra4670 Жыл бұрын

I love recipes like this because you really can do it with nothing written down to follow. Anybody who does any cooking instinctively knows what the basics are in this recipe and you just customize it to your taste. I like adding chopped green pepper and sliced black olives. I usually use both sausage AND beef. If I have basil growing in my garden I would definitely pull a bunch from my garden and chop it, then layer a few whole leaves on top with the cheese. I am not into a heavy garlic taste so I tend to go light on the garlic. I might also add mushrooms and sauté them with my onions and peppers. I have never used pepper flakes, but I've seen lots of KZfaq cooks use them and I'm inspired to get some and start trying it! Thanks for the inspiration!

I made this last night, but without the onions and garlic due to husband’s aversion to them (although the jarred pasta sauce I used had some in it). I also fully mixed the ricotta into the pasta, as some of the Italian commenters here suggested. Anyway, it was a huge hit and so very tasty!! This recipe is a keeper for sure! 👍 Thank you, Preppy Kitchen, for the easy-to-follow video and recipe! ❤

But other than that it's an amazing recipe. Another thing is I will wither mix in the ricotta completely next time, or use smaller dollops. Overall great recipe 👍

I really love your recipes! I recommend Preppy Kitchen to everybody who asks me if I know of a recipe for something! I just made this tonight for dinner but had to improvise on a few things because it’s what I had on hand. I used ground turkey, cream cheese, Colby jack cheese and grated Parmesan instead of ground sausage, ricotta, mozzarella and fresh Parmesan. I also did 2 15oz cans of tomato sauce, a 6oz can of tomato paste and a 28oz can of diced tomatoes, because that’s what I had on hand as well. It is still amazing with my change ups, although when I have the money I would like to get the necessary items to make this again 😁😋😋!!
