Notes
We have a few helpful tips for making this San Giorgio baked ziti box recipe:
- To make sure that your pasta is cooked al dente, be sure to follow the package directions. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will not become mushy when baked.
- If you want a richer flavor, you can use whole milk ricotta cheese.
- For a meaty version of this dish, add cooked ground beef or sausage to the ricotta cheese mixture.
