TWO LAYER BAKED PASTA
I love both red & white sauces for pasta! This recipe is easier than making lasagna yet perfect for relaxed entertaining. It can be made in advance & refrigerated for up to 8 hours or foil wrapped & frozen for up to 2 weeks. If you can't find "cavatappi" (the thick cork screw shapes), use some other short pasta such as penne or rotini.

2 LAYER BAKED ZITI
A double layer of yumminess! A layer of Alfredo in noodles, topped by a layer of meat and red sauce. This makes a 9x13. I cut it in half for my house. This was given to me by my DS. It is a family favorite.

20 BEST BAKED PASTA RECIPES TO MAKE NOW - FOOD & WINE
From foodandwine.com
- Vegetarian Lasagna "Bolognese" with Plant-Based Meat. This faux lasagna Bolognese delivers all the comforting flavors of the Italian classic, thanks to layers of richly seasoned plant-based meat and a quickly simmered marinara.
- Mostaccioli. A hearty meat sauce, lots of melted cheese, and pasta make this dish a crowd-pleaser. Mostaccioli, a smooth, tube-shaped pasta with angled ends, is the go-to here, but penne also works well.
- Pork-and-Ricotta-Stuffed Jumbo Shells. Food & Wine's Justin Chapple amps up the filling in stuffed shells by including ground pork. Use your favorite prepared tomato sauce here.
- Baked Rigatoni with Broccoli, Green Olives, and Pancetta. Instead of using tomato sauce, Hugh Acheson makes his version of baked ziti with intensely sweet roasted tomatoes.
- Buttermilk Macaroni and Cheese with Baby Kale. A quick sauté renders baby kale leaves perfectly tender, allowing them to almost melt into the buttermilk-enriched béchamel in chef and cookbook author Alexander Smalls' version of mac and cheese.
- Kale-Artichoke Stuffed Shells. Cannellini beans add hearty creaminess to these stuffed shells, while mild heat from Calabrian chiles and earthy sweetness from fennel seeds amp up jarred marinara sauce.
- Creamy Tuna Noodle Cazuela. Jarred piquillo peppers and imported canned tuna from Spain add an Iberian twist to the classic American tuna casserole. Go to Recipe.
- Vegetable-and-Ravioli Lasagna. Fresh spinach ravioli are a clever shortcut for making lasagna: Each ravioli is already a mini layer of pasta, cheese, and vegetable.
- Pumpkin Lasagne. No need to roast fresh pumpkin for this dish (although you certainly could); using canned unseasoned pumpkin puree is much quicker, and it works just fine.
- Baked Orecchiette with Pork Sugo. In Italian cuisine, sugo is a gravy or sauce. Here, chef Ethan Stowell prepares a pork sugo by braising pork shoulder until it almost falls apart, shredding it in a food processor and mixing it with a red-wine-and-tomato sauce.
