BAKED ZITI
This easy baked pasta dish is the perfect comfort food for any night of the week - and it's super kid-friendly. The sauce doesn't have to simmer for hours on the stovetop, thanks to all the flavor from the onion, garlic and the combination of both fresh and dried herbs. Hang onto some of the pasta water - an Italian grandmother secret - in case you need to thin the sauce out. The hot starchy water can loosen a pasta sauce without making it too watery - plus it is already seasoned. Pulling the pasta from the pot before it's completely cooked helps prevent it from becoming overcooked and mushy in the oven.
