Chef's Notes
Do not skip the resting period at the end! Slicing into a bubbling hot casserole immediately is a one-way ticket to a messy, soup-like plate of pasta.
Pro Tip
For the ultimate cheese pull, mix a handful of sharp provolone into your mozzarella layer for an unexpected depth of savory flavor.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to cover the dish with foil during the first half of baking will result in a scorched, burnt cheese crust long before the center is even warm.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the baked ziti go to therapy? Because it had too many layered emotional issues under a blanket of cheese.
The Culinary Science
Boiling pasta in salted water seasons the starch molecules from the inside out, rather than just flavoring the exterior surface.
