Two of the best Italian dishes that are a classic in every home are baked ziti and spaghetti and meatballs. While each dish is scrumptious and holds up well on their own, just imagine how delicious they are together when they’re all combined into one!

As we’ve said before, meatballs have been consumed all over the world, but are best known with their counterparts spaghetti and tomato sauce to create a delicious and renowned meal. Ziti on the other hand, is almost entirely Italian, although it could just as easily be argued to be an Italian-American dish.

The usage of the pasta known as ziti is what gives the meal its distinctive name, and is found ridged and unridged along its outer edge. In order to make the full baked ziti, you need to create a casserole with the ziti pasta, cheese, and tomato sauce.

To truly make ziti, you need to bake it in the oven so that the flavors can meld together and create something that is more than just the sum of its parts. By adding meatballs to baked ziti, you’re creating something even better than just ziti and meatballs, thanks to the magic of your oven!
