Spicy Sausage Baked Ziti with Ricotta & Pizza Seasoning Ingredients • 1 lb ziti pasta • 1 lb ground Italian sausage • 1 jar (24 oz) Arrabbiata sauce from Rao's Homemade • 1 cup ricotta cheese • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese • 1–1½ tsp pizza seasoning from Williams Sonoma • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1 tbsp olive oil • Salt and pepper to taste • Optional: chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish 🌿 Instructions 1. Cook the pasta • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. • Cook ziti until just shy of al dente (about 1 minute less than package directions). • Drain and set aside. 2. Brown the sausage • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. • Add ground Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. • Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. 3. Build the sauce • Pour in the jar of Arrabbiata sauce and stir to combine with the sausage. • Sprinkle in Williams Sonoma Pizza Seasoning and simmer for 5 minutes to let flavors meld. 4. Mix the pasta and ricotta (I don’t mix in the ricotta. I dollop it on top) • In a large bowl, combine: ◦ cooked ziti ◦ sausage sauce mixture ◦ ricotta cheese • Stir until evenly coated and creamy. 5. Assemble the baked ziti • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). • Spread half the pasta mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish. • Sprinkle with half the mozzarella and Parmesan. • Add remaining pasta, then top with remaining cheeses. 6. Bake • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. • Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. 7. Rest and serve • Let the dish sit for 5–10 minutes before serving so it holds together when sliced. • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
