This is my Faked Ziti ("Baked Ziti"). There's no draining and no baking and the easiest thing to make for dinner. It’s super quick and you can do it all with one hand, because when it's supper-o'clock you’re probably doing something else with the other. Watch the video!

Make the Ziti

  1. Put the pasta, milk and water into a pot and season with a generous pinch of salt. Simmer over a medium flame until all the liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir so it absorbs the liquid evenly.

  2. Then add the marinara sauce and shredded cheese. Stir well until melted. Serve topped with grated parmesan if desired.

    SOAMAZING!!!!

    First of all, (you can make this gluten- free, just substitute the pasta out for gluten- free pasta.) This recipe is amazing!!! So creamy!!! my family usually has this at least once a week! I recommend this to everyone, besides for the fact that it is sooooo simple and easy to make!!!! If you haven't made this, you need to at once!!!

    Delicous!

    Great recipe! I would skip the cooking in milk and just cook the pasta regularly and drain. I ended up with one burnt pot that took some serious elbow grease to clean (even after soaking overnight)! I also prefer a heavier sauce to cheese ratio, but overall, a delicious and easy to whip up lunch or dinner!

    A trick that I learned to easily clean a burnt pot. Pour a generous amount of baking soda into your pot. Pour water into the pot to cover just a little bit more than the burnt area. Allow the water to boil for a few minutes and let the pot cool slightly. Pour off the water and wash the burnt area out. If it doesn't come off completely, repeat the process. (Sometimes you have to do it two more times if the pot is really burnt badly). It usually comes completely out. Good luck. (I really burnt my cholent pot badly. It took three tries and a bit of "elbow grease", but it all came out).

    Looks great but...

    Before taking a bite into that delicious ziti how about a bracha?

    Hi Gitty, Thanks for your comments. The halacha is that you are not supposed to say shem Hashem for entertainment purposes- ie- a video that isn't about teaching people how to make a bracha (like ours, which are about how to make a recipe). Also, we often have multiple takes at a video shoot and we can't have them repeating the bracha. The person in the video can make the bracha off camera if they are eating the food. We don't have to include the full bracha in the video and in fact some rabbonim say you shouldn't do that- including Rav Forst. I assure you that our leaving out brachos is not due to trying to look professional, but due to actual halacha. That said, we are working on adding a disclaimer so the audience is aware of that.

    D-Licious!!

    Actually thought it tasted better than regular baked ziti. Maybe because it cooked in the milk and became so creamy. Thanks to Shaindy for the tip on making it in a foil pan- it made a perfect Thursday night no mess supper!

    faked ziti

    In the video it says to turn the flame to high. In the instructions it says to simmer on low. Which is correct?

    Definitely low is safer with noodles. I would say bring to a boil and then lower to simmer.

    Quick & Easy

    Kids loved it! I added more water as my kids like it less chewy. P.S. I did half a recipe it in a disposable deep 5x7 pan. (Yes, I put the pan on the flame and cooked in it instead of using a pot.) All I had to wash up was a spoon!!! :)
