Baked Ziti with Cheese is a classic Italian-American comfort dish combining tender pasta, tangy marinara sauce, seasoned ground meat or vegetables, and a creamy blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Traditionally baked until bubbly and golden, this hearty casserole is a favorite at family gatherings and potlucks. While its pasta base provides a good source of energy-rich carbohydrates, the dish can be heavy in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to its rich cheese and meat components. Balancing the recipe with lean proteins, whole-grain ziti, and added vegetables like spinach or zucchini can boost its fiber, vitamins, and minerals for a healthier version. Whether enjoyed as a main course or shared as part of a larger meal, baked ziti's indulgent flavors make it a beloved staple of Italian-inspired cuisine.
