Question 1

SHOULD BAKED ZITI BE COVERED WHEN BAKING?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to cover this baked ziti while baking, unless the cheese is becoming too brown for your taste.

Question 2

HOW DO YOU MAKE BAKED ZITI NOT WATERY?

Accepted Answer

Your sauce may have been too watery from the beginning, or your pasta was well done when you added it to the casserole. Be sure to use al dente pasta before baking so that the pasta will absorb some more of the liquid.

Question 3

SHOULD YOU RINSE PASTA FOR BAKED ZITI?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to rinse pasta before cooking it.

Question 4

WHAT DOES AL DENTE MEAN?

Accepted Answer

Cooking the pasta al dente means just until it starts to soften with a firm bite. Since the pasta will cook in the baked ziti, you don't want it to be too soft from the get-go.

Question 5

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAKED ZITI AND LASAGNA?

Accepted Answer

Baked ziti is a mixture of noodles, sauce, cheese, and sometimes meat in a casserole dish. It is typically spooned onto a plate or a bowl. Lasagna is all of these elements but layered into a dish and eaten in slices.
