Recipe: One Pan Baked Ziti
This one pan baked ziti is your next meal on rotation. It’s literally so easy, you don’t even need to boil the pasta! I made this on Sunday evening and it was the ultimate comfort meal. Cooking the pasta in the sauce makes the flavor and texture on another level. Watch the recipe reel here.
