Ziti!




 I'd never made ziti before, but, inspired by a memory from The Sopranos wherein Tony was always eating leftover ziti from the refrigerator and the priest said, "Carm, I'm jonesing for some of your ziti," I decided to give it a try.

It's basically a deconstructed lasagna-- noodles, a ragout of Italian sausage and tomato sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan, all baked together. 

It was tasty but a bit reminiscent of school lunches, Next time I'll up the garlic--4 cloves wasn't near enough-- as well as the pepper flakes.

But now I'm ready to watch The Sopranos again.

Never had it, but pasta is always fine with me.

The Sopranos were mentioned at a dinner with friends last night. Not something we've ever watched. Now ziti was a go to dish of my sister in law and I've made it a couple of times too. Much easier than lasagna.

I recently saved a recipe for lasagna soup...yes you actually break lasagna noodles into it after it's cooked.
