Four out of five doctors agree my Baziti is the best in the world. The fifth one mysteriously vanished, but that’s not my problem. Now, you can always use store-bought sauce, but why not treat yourself to the best sauce in the multiverse. Olive oil, peppers, and onions, plus that proper seasoning starts us off on the right track. We’re going to add some tomato paste to toast and add some canned San Marzino tomatoes. I’m adding a little sugar plus seasonings to the mix. And please don’t start. I don’t care how your grandma makes her sauce. She didn’t pay for the groceries and she doesn’t get an opinion. I used my immersion blender to get everything mixed properly and tossed in a dollop of heavy cream to lighten up the sauce a bit. Now, once that’s done, I added some ground turkey and Italian sausage. Cooked them in my new ceramic cookware thanks to my best friends at Wayfair to get that meat nice and seared up. Once we add the meat to the sauce, give it a little bit of seasoning. Remember, flavor builds with layers. Al dente noodles go in next, followed by cream cheese and my cheese blend of sharp cheddar Kobe Jack and fresh mozzarella. Add some pasta water and then assemble. Get this baked at 350 for 30 minutes, covered in foil, then uncovered at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes for the best zi ever. Free recipe in the description below. Thanks for watching and until the next time we feast. Peace.
