I’ve had this recipe “pinned” for months on Pinterest and never made it. It’s from marthastewart.com. I’m not that great of a cook, but how could I screw up Baked Ziti? Let me tell you how!
This probably shouldn’t be on my “Fit for Life” Tuesday but I had originally thought that this would be a healthy vegetarian dish. But I messed it up.
First, it called for “best-quality” tomato sauce. What is that? I bought a can of tomato sauce with a fancy Italian name brand on it. But when I started making the dish I realized that since it didn’t call for any spices–perhaps Martha meant a “best-quality” pasta sauce. All I had was Ragu and Prego. Not the best-quality. And also not fitting into my “Fit for Life” non-processed food living. Sigh.
Then I realized I had purchased penne, not ziti. At least it was whole wheat. And I had intended to get fresh mozzeralla and slice it into the ziti. Forgot about that. So all I had was Kraft. More processed food.
This was funny!
