About Baked ziti with meatballs

Baked Ziti with Meatballs is a comforting Italian-American dish that combines pasta, meat, and cheese in a hearty casserole. This dish features ziti pasta, tender beef or pork meatballs, a rich marinara sauce, and layers of mozzarella and ricotta cheese, all baked to golden perfection. Originating from Italian cuisine, baked ziti has become a popular family favorite for its warm, filling qualities. While it provides protein from the meatballs and calcium from the cheeses, it’s also high in calories, fat, and sodium due to the cheese and processed tomato sauce. Whole-grain pasta and lean meat can be used to increase its nutritional value. Pairing the dish with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables adds fiber and balances the meal. Baked Ziti with Meatballs is perfect for gatherings or weeknight dinners, offering both comfort and flavor in every bite.
