BAKED ZITI WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add plum tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper; bring to a boil over medium. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and sauce thickens, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ziti, and boil until just al dente, according to package directions. Drain and return ziti to pot.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Add tomato mixture, shredded chicken, and basil to ziti; stir to coat thoroughly. Pour half of ziti mixture into a 13- x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with 1/3 cup of the Parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Top with remaining ziti mixture, and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and 1 cup mozzarella.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let rest 10 minutes. Garnish with additional basil before serving.

CHICKEN BAKED ZITI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove to cook the ziti noodles according to package directions. Be sure to reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
• Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add in the cubed chicken and seasonings and cook until the chicken is cooked all the way through. If there is any excess liquid in the pan, drain and discard it.
• Add in the marinara sauce and reserved pasta water and bring to a simmer. Then, add the chicken and sauce mixture to an oven safe glass baking dish. (4.8 quart/10x15 recommended, needs to be fairly large to fit everything!)
• Pour the cooked ziti noodles on top, followed by the ricotta and basil. Mix all of this together.
• Top with mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan. Cover with foil. (Pro tip: spray foil with non stick spray so the cheese doesn't stick to the foil). Bake for 20 minutes with the foil on, and then remove the foil and broil for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese get slightly browned and bubbly. Garnish with more basil and serve with more red sauce if desired. Enjoy!!

BAKED CHICKEN AND PORTOBELLO ZITI

Steps:

• 1. Divide the chopped onions into two equal portions and set one aside. Add the other to a large skillet, and saute with the garlic in olive oil for about 10 minutes or until golden. 2. Smash the whole peeled tomatoes with your fingers and add to the pan along with the diced tomatoes, basil, sugar, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Bring 5 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook for 8 minutes. The pasta should be al dente. Drain. 4. In a large skillet, saute chopped onion for about 5 minutes or until slightly golden. Add chicken cubes and continue to saute over medium heat until all edges of the chicken appear cooked. It is not necessary to fully cook the chicken at this time since it will cook in the oven. 5. Add spaghetti sauce and mushrooms. Simmer for 15 minutes. 6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Liberally grease a 9x13 inch baking dish (prefer butter). Place half of the ziti on the bottom of the dish. Then, evenly cover the ziti with the provolone cheese slices. Evenly spread the sour cream on top of the provolone. Spoon out half of the prepared sauce on top of the sour cream and spread evenly. Layer on the remaining ziti. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the ziti and spoon on the remaining sauce mixture. Top evenly with grated Parmesan cheese. 7. Place in the oven on the center rack and bake for 30 minutes.

• Drain ziti and add to the skillet with shredded chicken; stir until coated. Top with Cheddar cheese.
