There are some dinners that just feel like a hug in a bowl. This easy baked ziti is definitely one of them. It’s way easier than lasagna but just as satisfying.

It’s the kind of meal that’s perfect when you need something hearty, cheesy, and satisfying — but you also don’t want to spend your whole night in the kitchen. Plus, it’s amazing for meal prep and freezer stashing (because who doesn’t love pulling out a homemade baked pasta on a busy night?).
