I love Ms. Lydia sooooooo much. She's the one who taught me to stop putting oil in the water when cooking my pasta. It comes out less slippery, and the sauce sticks to it better.
I used to love watching her show on PBS, and I always make baked ziti (usually I add ground Italian sausage), but I never thought of mixing the ricotta in the sauce first, or layering it like a lasagne. Time to make some RIGHT NOW!!!
This woman is absolutely fearless, and absolutely incredibly graceful. Can’t get enough of this show. Thank You for sharing. These segments exactly the right length.
Bravo! Make sure you cook the pasta a couple of minutes short of al dente...it will continue to cook in the oven. Also, serve with plenty of extra marinara sauce as the pasta tends to dry out al forno.
I love this easy baked ziti, so warm and comforting. I would add italian sausage and peppers and onions. The kids never liked to many vegetables, so I put the vegetables in the blender and they never knew they were eating broccoli or cauliflower. Great memories! Have a great day everyone!
I remember watching cooking shows on PBS throughout the years and she, and her delicious food were among my favorites! Simple, comfort food for mah soul! 😋
Love this my friend thank you. When I cook with you it reminds me of my Italian sister in law teaching me how to cook 50 years ago. Now I'm Nana Sunday dinner 🌹🥖🍷🍷🤗
Ahhh, thank you Miss Lidia. I watched this 3 times & found the courage to make this for some Italian Americans in my sons (married family). It was devoured & I was praised. Just like that! MmmmmMmmmMmmm.💖
Was looking for an easy baked ziti recipee never made it before- I should've known LIDIA!!!!!! watch😘💯👍👌❤ you for years from south Florida on public broadcasting system ❤🙂
Lidia you're the best ! I enjoy watching you cook and I have learned to make your pasta which is simple and delicious. From Madrid with love Annabelle Cork mil gracias
I'm Vietnamese but my kids love Italian foods. Anything with pasta and red sauce, and a lot of cheese. Especially bake ziti have all in one. Look so simple enough for me to try. I will let you know if my kids like it. Thank you!
Love your coocking, very good recipies and it is a joy to cook them a home. My father was born in collecorvino and he often made a ragu with mutton and the pasta he used where large sized pipe rigate so the sauce filled every little bit of the pasta ,and i tell you it was delicious. And of course we ate a lot of pipindune e ove.
Thanks for the recipe Lidia. After watching the Sporanos (every time Tony Soprano goes to the fridge and gets the baked Ziti) I always wanted to give this recipe a go.
I threw a party the other day I had a vegetarian so I looked up recipes and found this one I made this recipe and to my surprise this was the best dish at the party hands down better than my meat so simple it came out so ridiculously good that I was astonish that you can have a dish with no meat that tastes out of this world
TYSM Lydia it came out Great.😄 My husband and I have been fans for years and years now your shows were always very informative and easy to follow.. And of course delicious 😋 Such a Great personality and such a sweetheart we love you..🥰 God bless and Plz Take care..🥰💕💕
