    I love your channel, just found it the other day. YES, cooking to music always makes my sauce taste better!

    Can you give me info on preparing ahead & how to cook it after removing from frig? This looks sooo good, l want to make it for company. Thx!

    looks great, but isn't pasta supposed to be a relatively inexpensive dish? That must be at least $30 worth of cheese alone.

    Okay…so I made this today and wow…was the best ziti we ever had. I have a feeling the mascarpone cheese helped it be creamy and rich and not dry in any way. Nor was it too clumpy cheesy, just perfect. I never would have thought of adding that myself. Had to put under broiler for some reason to get the topping to be dry though a few minutes at the end.   I've tried five recipes so far and all were great. Next I'm gonna try that olive oil. Can't wait for it to arrive. 🙂

    Joe, Thank you so much for doing this video. I made this baked ziti with your sauce and it was a huge hit with all my guests. I'm looking forward to making more of your recipes.

    I tried this about three times already and made it for Christmas Eve dinner. Great to have as a ready to go dinner on a crazy busy night like Christmas Eve! This is amazing!!!!

    The mascarpone has no purpose in the recipe and will just get lost here.

  26. Heather Linton

    Cruel Joe, I am now so hungry if it was not so late 12.o2am I would probably go and make that 😛👍🇿🇦

    I'm assuming that you always have the marinara or spaghetti sauce already made up and just add the meat when you want it? I feel that ground sausage and beef add heaven to baked ziti.
