White Baked Ziti

This is a creamy and indulgent white baked ziti with a classic bechamel base but with the addition of nutty Parmesan. Cubed mozzarella is folded into the pasta before baking to reveal surprise reservoirs of melty cheese throughout. A bit of red pepper flakes adds the right touch of heat to balance everything out.

Ingredients:
- Olive oil, for greasing baking dish
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound ziti
- 4 cups milk
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/3 cups grated Parmesan
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound fresh mozzarella, half cut into 1/2-inch cubes and half thinly sliced
How to cook:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and add the pasta back to the pot.
- Put the milk in a glass measuring cup and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until just warm, about 2 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk until combined. Continue to whisk until the mixture bubbles a bit but does not brown, about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in the warm milk while whisking constantly. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking often and occasionally running a rubber spatula around the edges of the saucepan to prevent burning. When the sauce is boiling, reduce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened to a nice coating consistency, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Add 1 cup of the Parmesan, the red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the bechamel sauce over the pasta and toss to combine. Fold in the cubed mozzarella. Transfer the pasta to the prepared baking dish. Cover the top of the pasta with the sliced mozzarella and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan. Bake until lightly browned and hot, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

- 5 cups canned, crushed tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1 pound whole milk Ricotta

- 1 ball fresh mozzarella
- 1 cup grated Locatelli Romano cheese

- For the Sauce: In saute pan, heat olive oil, and saute onions and then garlic until medium brown. Add tomatoes and cook until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add fresh basil and salt and pepper to taste.
- For the Filling: Mix ingredients well in mixing bowl and add enough eggs so that the cheese mixture can easily be spread with a spatula.
- For the Assembly: In a 10- by 6 by 3-inch terra cotta dish (or baking dish close in size or type), place a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Arrange a layer of ziti, then cover with a layer of filling, then sprinkle the roasted peppers, sun dried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and Romano cheese. Repeat this process (starting with the sauce) until the pan is full ending with a top layer of ziti. Cover the ziti with sauce and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 to 40 minutes or until a little crusty on the top. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Cut and serve with freshly grated dry Ricotta on top.
