One-Pot Baked Ziti – everything cooks in the same pot, even the pasta!!! Italian sausage, onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, water, ziti pasta, ricotta, heavy cream and mozzarella cheese – 100% from scratch pasta dish that is ready in under 30 minutes! Everyone (even the kids) LOVES this recipe!!
I am so excited about this recipe. This is my new “go-to” recipe for Baked Ziti. I especially love that you don’t have to boil the pasta and this is made in one pot. My favorite cooking method!
This smelled AMAZING while it was cooking, and it tasted even better. Chicken Legs took one bite and said I could serve this in a restaurant. I had to agree. I actually thought it was better than any baked ziti I’ve had in a restaurant. It was seriously delicious! I had leftovers for lunch and it tasted just as good, if not better.
The sauce is a big part of this recipe. Make sure you use a good quality can of tomatoes. I used a can of crushed San Marzano tomatoes. I highly suggest splurging on San Marzano tomatoes. I think they make a big difference. I bought the tomatoes at Earth Fare, but I’ve also found them at Fresh Market.

I love my pizza cutter – use it to cut everything….and the stoneware!
I love the glass serving bowls
I'm a loyal Pampered Chef fan 🙂 I even had a PC bridal shower and it was so awesome! My favorite currently is simply the stainless steel cookware. It's taken some learning, but SS isn't as finicky as I originally thought!
I love my garlic press. And stoneware. And wine opener….
I love Pampered Chef and now I know what we're having for supper tonight. Thanks!
I love my zester! It's a simple item, but being able to add that citrus zest to my recipes makes me happy happy happy. I also love my pizza stone 🙂
Myrna the zester is awesome!!! I use it to top my pizza with cheese. I too love my pizza stone!
