Vegetable Baked Ziti is a comforting dish that brings together the heartiness of pasta with the freshness of garden vegetables. This recipe harks back to the days when my grandmother would gather the last of the summer harvest and turn it into something magical. It’s a dish that’s perfect for family gatherings, where the warmth of the oven and the aroma of baking cheese fill the house with memories. Whether you’re looking to feed a crowd or simply want to enjoy a wholesome meal, this baked ziti is a testament to the beauty of simple, honest cooking.
This Vegetable Baked Ziti pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad, perhaps with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the richness of the cheese. A side of garlic bread or a warm, crusty loaf of homemade bread would also complement the dish perfectly, allowing you to soak up every last bit of the savory tomato sauce. For a touch of sweetness, consider serving a light fruit salad or a simple apple crisp for dessert.
