YOOXICMAN Baked Ziti

Cooking tips 💡

• When sautéing the meat, be patient and cook until all the released moisture evaporates and a brown fond lightly sticks to the bottom of the pot; this maximizes the overall savory depth of the sauce.
• Since the pasta will cook further in the oven with the cheese and sauce, boil it to a firmer state (70% of the recommended time) to maintain a chewy texture without becoming mushy.
• If traditional ziti pasta is hard to find in Korean supermarkets or online, use rigatoni with its large holes; the sauce fills the inside well, giving a much richer flavor.
• The distinctive spice flavor of Italian sausage and the heavy, rich taste of ricotta cheese complete the exotic identity of this dish, so it is recommended not to omit these two ingredients if possible.
