Directions
Kittencal’s Freezer Baked Ziti (Oamc), This recipe goes back a long time, it makes two 12-1/2 x 8-inch disposable pans, use my recipe#71273 for this but you may use your favorite homemade sauce, you will need about 8 cups of pasta sauce or a little more if desired, chili flakes is only optional I like to add them in for some heat, you may adjust the amount to suit your taste or omit — make certain to leave the frozen pan in the refrigerator overnight to thaw slightly before baking, and you will need about 2 cups of mozzarella cheese for the top after baking, this makes the perfect potluck meal and you also get to enjoy one pan :), No parmesan and cook for about 25-30 minutes, and covered Use sauce as future spaghetti sauce, because it’s REALLY good , When do we add the parmesan cheese if it’s not to be baked? Also, does the recipe call for 4 cups of mozerella, 2 cups to incorporate with the pasta and sauce, then 2 cups to sprinkle on top at the last 5 minutes of baking?
