Fife & Farro Mom's Ziti

EVERY PLATE TELLS A STORY

Every Sunday, my dad would make a big pot of pasta sauce that we’d enjoy all week long. Each night, we’d find a new way to transform that sauce—baked ziti quickly became a family favorite. With just a few simple ingredients—good ricotta, hearty pasta sauce, and the pasta shape of your choice—you can make this comforting dish your own. We recommend lumache, fusilli, or rigatoni.
