CHICKEN BAKED ZITI

Sophie is heading off to *cough* Mississippi State *cough* soon, and there’s a lot we’ll miss about having her around the house. One thing we’ll especially miss? Coming home from work to a hot meal already on the stove. Sophie loves to cook, and we’re always happy to be her taste testers. We might complain a little about the mountain of dishes she leaves behind, but it’s a small price to pay for her cooking. Here’s one of the meals we recently came home to. She was craving pasta and found this recipe on krollskorner.com. INGREDIENTS • 1 lb. ziti pasta, cooked (reserve 1/2 cup pasta water) • 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed • 2 tbsp. olive oil • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning • 1 tsp. salt • 1/2 tsp. pepper • 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes (optional) • 32 oz. marinara sauce • 1 1/2 cup ricotta cheese • 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded • 1 cup Parmesan • 1 bunch basil, chiffonade INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove to cook the ziti noodles according to package directions. Be sure to reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

2. Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet over

medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add in the cubed chicken and seasonings

and cook until the chicken is cooked all the way through. If there is any excess liquid in the pan, drain and discard it. 3. Add in the marinara sauce and reserved

pasta water and bring to a simmer. Then, add the chicken and sauce mixture to an oven-safe glass baking

dish. (4.8 quart/10x1× 5 recommended, it needs to be fairly large to fit everything!) 4. Pour the cooked ziti noodles on top, followed by the ricotta and basil. Mix all of this together. 5. Top with mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan. Cover with foil. (Pro tip: spray the foil with nonstick spray so the cheese doesn’t stick to the foil.) Bake for 20 minutes with the foil on, then remove the foil and broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese gets slightly browned and bubbly. Garnish with more basil and serve with more red sauce if desired.

RECENT REVIEW 

My daughter and I were in an auto accident. After getting nowhere with my insurance company, I reached out to people in my area for lawyer suggestions. The response was overwhelmingly — Loyd Bourgeois. From my first consultation, I knew I was in the right place. Loyd and his staff kept me informed every step of the way and got me to an end result that I was more than satisfied with. Everyone is kind, professional, and empathetic, and my whole experience from start to finish was stress-free! – Michelle
