Quick Baked Ziti
Sunday night was the Oscars. Since the weather was cold and icy, I stayed home with Mr. Max and had a private little Oscar party. I made Mr. Max his dinner and we shared a very quick baked ziti with veggies.Last night I had ricotta cheese left over and I made broccoli baked ziti with shrimp. I find that by adding veggies to the baked ziti, it not only bimps up the flavor, you are bumping up the nutritional value of the dish. My preperation of the ziti is basic. I prepared the ziti or other shorta pasta according ot the package directions. Sunday night I added small pieces of raw veggies and it baked up nicely. Last night I blanched the broccoli and added it to the ziti, and then topped it with shrimp. It was verygood. Pictures of my ziti are posted on Instagram and the recipes are posted on bonappetitmom recipes page. I bought the 32 oz. ricotta cheese and now I need to use the other 15 oz. of the ricotta cheese. I have thinking of making the cauliflower pie with ricotta cheese. I will keep yoi updated. Stay safe my fans and Bon Appetit.
