This Easy Baked Ziti Recipe is a household favorite! We have so many crazy weeknights that having easy dinners the whole family loves is crucial for me as a mom! I can’t believe that up until a couple of years ago I thought Ziti was a fancy dinner. (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) Disclaimer I was given Perfect Grill Oven Gloves to add in creating this Easy Baked Ziti Recipe for reviewing purposes. No monetary compensation was given and all opinions are mine and truthful to the experiences in my kitchen.
We are huge bakers and grillers in our house, the kids are too. Personally, I hate using pot holders, and truthfully so do I, so when I had the chance to review Perfect Grill Oven Gloves I jumped at it!! I am constantly losing my grip with potholders or find them awkward to grab around pans. Plus if they aren’t the gloves so much skin is left exposed to be burnt by the racks, yes I have a special skill.
Perfect Grill Oven Gloves Details From Amazon:
- Silicone grips on both sides for non-slip handling of hot objects. They may seem overly large, but not when wearing. The extra bulk or inside layer is needed for protection.
- Superheat resistant insulated fabric. The outer layer of gloves does not catch fire & do not melt when exposed to an open flame. Perfect for Home Cooking, Grilling, Baking, Camping, Smoker, BBQ, Fireplace, Microwave, and more
- The perfect grill gloves are designed for loose fitting for easy slip-on & off and for air to circulate through your hands
- Heat Resistant Durability For Temperatures Up To 662 Degrees Fahrenheit
Now for the wonderful recipe, we made to test these gloves out!!! We had never made Baked Ziti before but since the kids are huge spaghetti fans I figured it would be a hit with the kids. My teenage cousin was over that night and had one of the smaller pans pretty much to himself! Now we go all fancy when we make this dish and use our Rachel Ray Stoneware sets to make this dish. I love how deep they are and the lids are great for storing the leftovers in the fridge as well.
