You can always find the print recipe (link to my website or written out if not yet available) in the description above. Hope you enjoy this simple baked pasta recipe!
I just had a quick stupid question, since I can’t find any butchers near my house who offer Italian sausage which falls within our religious guidelines: would another type of (home-made) meat work for this dish at all? Something like ground beef Bolognese-style, with the veggie mirepoix etc.?
On one of your older vids you said "dont worry about measuring everything, you arent baking, cooking isnt fun that way" and that piece of advice has helped me so much. Love your vids man
I hardly ever use recipes for cooking. Cooking is a crucial life skill that many people are lacking. All the fat and obese people (children die of hunger at the same time) don't even know what they put into their bodies.
I love that I missed that part. Like salt and lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce, I never measure any of that stuff anymore just go by feel and taste. Basically if it's less than a Tablespoon I'll just wing it lol. Some major things I measure but if it's like, "Boil 2 quarts of water" like no I don't need to measure my water just to boil some macaroni lol.
@@jamaly77 100% yeah cooking has made me so much more aware, also I enjoy it and then I can control EXACTLY what I consume, critical life skill indeed.
Getting the confidence to use your knowledge and feeling in cooking definitely takes time and experience, especially with stuff like spices. But these days I throw whatever spices I think sound good in my mortar and grind it up! Which is another good tip: get your spices whole when possible. Just like coffee, you truly unlock the spices flavour if it stays whole til the very last second. Try it with cumin and coriander, both are absolutely incredible and so much different tasting (in the best possible way) than the pre-ground. Happy cooking
I moved out of lower Hudson Valley, NY to take care of my medically fragile parents across the country… not only do you give me ideas for dinners to make for them, but your voice and demeanor make the homesickness hit less hard. Hope you’re have a lovely weekend and are keeping warm!💕
Your killing me, lol . I'm trying to make everything you do ... Haven't eat like this since my grandma was around when I was growing up... Good job brother 👍
Dude it is always a pleasure when you upload! There are countless chefs here on youtube that ive watched for years and as soon as I found you i knew you were my favorite - i totally see you hitting over a millions subs one day and I wish you and your family all the success you deserve! :)
My husband and I have become obsessed with your videos. Your approach is so mellow and soothing, but I think the real secret is that you are showing us how you cook for your family. That's what most people are looking for on this platform - simple, delicious, food suitable for a family meal that feels DOABLE. I made this baked pasta 2 days ago and it was phenomenal. The only difference was that I added sliced green olives because hello? Delicious. I even converted a green olive hater. Now he's like a born-again Christian, running around extolling the virtues of green olives in tomato sauce. You're doing something special here. Keep up the great work!
I think it’s fantastic that so many people, especially men, are commenting on your Father Son relationship. You do an amazing job and having your beautiful family as part of it is just incredible. Please let your son know he’s doing a wonderful job and please keep him rating you. He definitely is a natural at it. You and your wife have done a great job of raising your beautiful children. Much blessings to you and your family.
I have a ton of New Yorkers in the family and this channel always makes me feel like i'm watching one of my uncles teach a recipe. Man, I really do miss my uncle bobby's ziti. Plus, i like that he pulls the kids in to try the food at the end. it's a reminder that you're often cooking for family
Just pulled this out of the oven. That 10 minute wait is the longest. The sauce is outstanding! Update: day 3 of leftover pasta. Hubby won't let me share any. This is now my favorite go-to Italian dish. I will never order ziti from the local Italian restaurant again. This is sooo much better. Can't thank you enough for this recipe.🤗🤗🤗
Jim you might be the last generation who so greatly shows the world what common delicious Italian-American dishes from the historic greater NYC area are like. Mad respect for this channel.
Favorite part of the show? Father and Son sharing a bite at the end of it 😊 The recipe looks and sounds delicious...and an aside...I really like your website! It's easy to navigate, fast to load, and every recipe is clearly written! It's quickly becoming my second home on the internet. 😂
Making this tomorrow (Monday) for our friends who tested positive for Covid two days ago (Friday) & had their 2nd baby the very next day (Saturday). Great video as always . Thanks brother
I'm not Italian, but growing up in Westchester there is something so nostalgic and familiar about your recipes and just everything about your content. Even as a vegetarian every video is such a joy to watch and makes me want to get in the kitchen and get cooking.
Got to be one of the best cooking shows on RUclips. From start to finish I enjoy watching every minute. Having your son rate the dish after is awesome. Love the family interaction. I grew up in a Italian family and cooking these meals bring back many memories. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you!!
I'm extremely impressed with your recipes and as I mentioned I'm Italian so I'm now subscribed and will enjoy hunting for your other recipes. This is looking delicious thanks
I love your family man vibe and no nonsense recipes. I've been in and out of professional kitchens for a long time, and your explanations of why you do certain steps are always spot on.
I just put this in the oven! You are awesome. I've followed a few of your recipes loosely and now this one exactly. My wife will be off work as it comes out of the oven. Thanks for your amazing approach to cooking!
LOVE your videos!!!! Your son is totally adorable!!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us out here!! Much love to you and your family!!!!!!!
It fills my heart with joy how much your son can appreciate your food. I wish i was this appreciative of these dishes when i was younger but luckily my preferences changed and I love everything now. Thank you for the inspiring videos, I'm watching every single one as they come!!!
I can't wait to try this! I get my sausages from W/F too. I've discovered that buying a mix of spicy and sweet Italian sausages, and peeling the casings before mashing it up is easier in all my Italian sauces, and also my meatloaf. You guys are great. I'm always excited to see something new from you.
My collection of Sip and Feast recipes keeps growing! As a Midwestern/Scandinavian I really appreciate these recipes. I've been able to find all of the ingredients locally and enjoy making these dishes. Keep up the great work!
Niiiiice! I was ecstatic to see that you undercooked the pasta so it would be the right texture after sucking up some of the sauce. I can't tell you how many times someone has served mushy pasta to me. Bravo!
Have been a silent observer on this channel for a while now and I love it. One thing I would like to see more of since there is a lot of repetition with things like chopping vegetables and the order in which you add them to the pan. If you can elaborate every once in a while on things like, why onions first or why tomato paste along with tomato sauce or why the sear before putting it in the Dutch oven (just some examples) that would be super helpful (at least for me!) Thanks for making these videos. My family loves them.
Still loving these videos, I usually have a habit of watching a ton of cooking channels but they dont usually retain me for more than a week. But I love this one, I dont know if its just the atmosphere, your personality or what, but I'm loving it :)
I made a slightly modified version of one of your dishes (butter and tomatoes pasta) Wednesday night---I gave it 9 "Jaysons," using my late son for the rating name. He would have loved that pasta, and probably everything I've seen you make so far. I'M loving the dishes, even with the few modifications I have to make to accommodate my allergies. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe the wonderful food you show us!!
Outstanding..made for my family and it has been a hit! Delicious 💕. Confession, I always adjust recipes in some way. The adjustments I made: used red wine not white, increased mild Italian sausage to 2 lbs, added mushrooms. My husband raved about the flavors. Will go in my favorites file for sure. Thank you so very much for your videos. Your style is great and you are so relatable. Plus, you CAN cook!!!
Every time I make baked pasta I refer to this video, just because. My wife says its my "signature " (IE. Best) dish. But I always use sauce that's been simmering all day, no matter what else happens. Thanks as always, from So. CAL.
I made this dish, and it’s an excellent recipe . Thank you for this great recipe. I grew up in an Italian, Irish neighborhood near our Catholic school. Our mom worked in a nearby Greek restaurant and the food was excellent. A pizza sub shop also in our neighborhood that the staff was from Italy. Little Italy was the restaurant section of town everyone went to. This reminds me of home❤
You the man! I cook one of your recipes for family Sunday dinner at least twice a month. My woman is upset because the kids are disappointed when they find out it's not my turn to cook that weekend😄 Best cooking channel on YT!
Loved watching! You have great cooking & food knowledge & skills but lm mostly Lovin’ Billy Crystal vibe you got goin’! I watched you to inspire me to teach my hubby to cook as l am sick in bed with flu 🤒! Thank you for your humour & yes you have inspired me to help hubby get dinner done ✅ for family 😊👏
YOU HAD ME AT BAKED ... my grandmother made me baked spaghetti when I was young , now it's my go to to impress my friends now I'll blow them out then water.... thank-you keep up the great channel !!
Ohh woow, absolutely tasty & amazing pasta recipes you have presented here, thanks for the great connections & sharing of this recipes! Surely inspired us to cook pasta now!😋🥰😍☝👍👍
As a wee Irish fella living in Belfast you have introduced me and my family to a whole new world of great food. Thanks for this, especially for how affordable this all is to make.
Hat tip. Your editing has really started to show some nice detail. I'm an Italian guy from the Bronx, and I pretty much know all your recipes. I just watch cuz you're just a cool dude sharing our great NY Italian heritage and I wanna support that.
In a recipe I found for Pasta Norcina a long time ago, they cooked the meat into a large pattie, big as the skillet, cooked it rarish - then they just diced it up into tiny pieces. It worked just fine. Love this recipe! I've made it with spaghetti! Thanks for sharing!
Made it tonight ... cut all the measurements in half for just two of us ... very easy and absolutely wonderful... 2d time I've tried one of your recipes ... I will try more....
Reminds me of a dish my mom used to make. She got the recipe off of a pasta box. Cooking really is love, and nostalgia. Thanks for another great recipe!
Buddy. I love cooking. I love cooking channels. Not only are you likeable, you use that likeability to make people wanna actually try to make some shit. And thats the whole point of cooking shows, to get you motivated to try and cook and learn something. Good job mate.
James has the Best Job. The Official Taste Tester, I am jealous. Great Job Love Your Videos. Nice too see a nice family having fun and being together. Thank You 🙏
I love your videos! The recipes are great, but it’s also so sweet to see your interactions with your family, as well. I’m making this one for my family this weekend! 😋
Ciao from the south shore! My mouth was watering when you put the wooden spoon into the baked pasta and lifted it out with the cheese all stringy...Yum! Your son gave you a 9, tough crowd! lol.
I never had much luck with my potato masher - but JKLA uses a pastry cutter and I got one and absolutely love it for this purpose! Awesome recipe. Will try soon!
Hi. Thanks a lot for what you are doing for showing our culinary culture. It's a pleasure to see a non italian channel with actual italian recipes that go beyond "fettuccini alfredo" or other shit that passes for real italian food.
Pasta is my favorite type of food, and this is easily becoming one of my favorite RUclips channels. Your recipes are really easy to follow and all the food looks amazing. Keep up the good work.
I am a New Yorker and have been living in Germany for 30 years. NY-Italian is different from Italian-Italian. I have come up with my own things over the years to get the NY flavor and some were good...some not so good... The way you present and have shown some traditional NY food is just aweome. From things like this that you will not really get in Italy to different NY pizzas as well as some more old country things, you really are spot on. Hats off to you! Thanks for the awesome dishes!
I shared your baked pasta with my mom and my drycleaner. I hope I have enough leftovers for tomorrow since they are all asking for it (and thinking I am a great cook)
I just ran into this video this morning and I just made this dinner tonight. Quick turn around. Looks delicious on screen and smells delicious here. Thank you.
You're like the love child of John Cusack and Fran Fine ... bloody awesome mate... i'm only a recent sub, but have binged your vids for 3 days straight. keep up the good work bud! if anything, on your website (or on an overlay of your vids), it would be great if you could include the metric conversions for the amounts that you are using... that would be spectacular.
Love all the recipes you've shared. You make things look simple and give great tips. I absolutely love all things pasta and am so happy to have found your channel.
This one is yet another winner from your channel! I subbed white wine with chicken stock since i didn't have wine handy. I love it, so do my family. You're my go-to for Italian-American favorites!
Wow!! I just made this and it was AMAZING! It wasn’t dry at all and it was absolutely delicious. I did use ground beef instead of ground sausage, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly! Thanks for the great recipes!! I’ve made several of your dishes and all have been delicious!
Hi Jim…………Your channel has become the go-to. I’m 74 (today) and after 50 years of marriage, my wife (who’s a great cook!!) welcomes any effort I make to give her the break she so richly deserves. I’ve made a couple of your recipes and they are beyond wonderful. And you have to be applauded for your presentation. Always first class. (I invariably slink away from any clip that begins with ‘Yo…….RUclips. How ya doin’’?) And the ‘James’ ratings? Brilliant. And of course, I have subscribed. Best regards from Toronto, Canada. (Oh…….and ignore the recent Trucker Issue. That ain’t us! As you discovered on Jan 6th last year, there’s no shortage of dimwits in the world. We have them, too.)

Hello,my friend again

Thank you.so much
Many thanks, was looking for something like this. Greetings from Germany.
That's funny I'm making your pasta Norcina tonight Made it several times now and my family loves it

@@SipandFeast You're gonna make me fat with your videos :D
Boy you are so right!
Easily my favourite cooking channel.
Dude it is always a pleasure when you upload! There are countless chefs here on youtube that ive watched for years and as soon as I found you i knew you were my favorite - i totally see you hitting over a millions subs one day and I wish you and your family all the success you deserve! :)
I really appreciate that!
Amen 🙏 Amen to that!!!🙏🙏🙏Janie D

And I get to say I was there from (almost) the beginning. I subscribed after watching the first video I saw.

Waiting… just like it tastes better the next day, got to last to the next day first.

Just a father and son, baking some ziti. I love this content.
You are the best by a large margin in sharing your knowledge. A Hugh thanks from a native Manhattanite now living in Northern California.

I like the wide variety of dishes you feature. I love eating and always like new dishes.
I really appreciate all of your work and sharing with us. Always wanted to know how to cook authentic Italian favorites. You make it easy. Thanks!
I really appreciate it.
I made this pasta about a month or two ago and my family LOVED it.
I love that his favourite dish still leaves room for improvement
It fills my heart with joy how much your son can appreciate your food. I wish i was this appreciative of these dishes when i was younger but luckily my preferences changed and I love everything now. Thank you for the inspiring videos, I'm watching every single one as they come!!!
I can't wait to try this! I get my sausages from W/F too. I've discovered that buying a mix of spicy and sweet Italian sausages, and peeling the casings before mashing it up is easier in all my Italian sauces, and also my meatloaf. You guys are great. I'm always excited to see something new from you.
Same here…
My collection of Sip and Feast recipes keeps growing! As a Midwestern/Scandinavian I really appreciate these recipes. I've been able to find all of the ingredients locally and enjoy making these dishes. Keep up the great work!
Niiiiice! I was ecstatic to see that you undercooked the pasta so it would be the right texture after sucking up some of the sauce. I can't tell you how many times someone has served mushy pasta to me. Bravo!
Came for the receipe, stayed for the outlook on cooking and wholesome personality! Watching you just makes me smile :) thank you!
Thanks so much!
I love that you used simple ingredients. This help people who bad at cooking. Thanks for the video
Have been a silent observer on this channel for a while now and I love it. One thing I would like to see more of since there is a lot of repetition with things like chopping vegetables and the order in which you add them to the pan. If you can elaborate every once in a while on things like, why onions first or why tomato paste along with tomato sauce or why the sear before putting it in the Dutch oven (just some examples) that would be super helpful (at least for me!) Thanks for making these videos. My family loves them.
You see, it is possible to make a quality cooking video that's not full of vanity or fluff. I'm so going to make this recipe. Good work.
Still loving these videos, I usually have a habit of watching a ton of cooking channels but they dont usually retain me for more than a week. But I love this one, I dont know if its just the atmosphere, your personality or what, but I'm loving it :)
Well thank you. I hope my streak will continue, haha.
I agree it's 12:30am I can't sleep and this is relaxing me ;)
this leaves a lot of baked pasta dishes in the dust. can't wait to try it. thanks for posting
this is my favourite channel on youtube man, youre absolutely killing it!
Thanks so much!
I love a nice baked pasta dish and this recipe looks like a keeper! Thanks for sharing! Cheers to ya!
Consistently some of the best cooking content on RUclips. Also you and your son having a good time together is really sweet
I made a slightly modified version of one of your dishes (butter and tomatoes pasta) Wednesday night---I gave it 9 "Jaysons," using my late son for the rating name.
He would have loved that pasta, and probably everything I've seen you make so far. I'M loving the dishes, even with the few modifications I have to make to accommodate my allergies. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe the wonderful food you show us!!
I haven't lived in NJ in over 40 years (but grew up there)- you sound like my Italian relatives- and your pasta dishes make me homesick! Yum!
i have to say you are very thorough..esp for people who dont cook. this dish looks deliciousss. might try tonight, thanks :)
Outstanding..made for my family and it has been a hit! Delicious 💕. Confession, I always adjust recipes in some way. The adjustments I made: used red wine not white, increased mild Italian sausage to 2 lbs, added mushrooms. My husband raved about the flavors. Will go in my favorites file for sure.
Thank you so very much for your videos. Your style is great and you are so relatable. Plus, you CAN cook!!!
If James says it’s a 9 it is definitely going to be on the menu for the week-end lol Looks very tasty, good job !
Every time I make baked pasta I refer to this video, just because. My wife says its my "signature " (IE. Best) dish. But I always use sauce that's been simmering all day, no matter what else happens. Thanks as always, from So. CAL.

Pasta is my favorite type of food, and this is easily becoming one of my favorite RUclips channels. Your recipes are really easy to follow and all the food looks amazing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much!
Made this last night. Probably be eating it for three days!!! Fantastic recipe. My son who is 11 loved it.
Glad you both enjoyed it!
I really enjoy watching you cook❤️
I am a New Yorker and have been living in Germany for 30 years. NY-Italian is different from Italian-Italian. I have come up with my own things over the years to get the NY flavor and some were good...some not so good...
The way you present and have shown some traditional NY food is just aweome. From things like this that you will not really get in Italy to different NY pizzas as well as some more old country things, you really are spot on. Hats off to you! Thanks for the awesome dishes!
Thanks very much! I appreciate you watching.
Love your Italian dishes and your presentation!!
I absolutely love the pool/snooker style jazzy background groove first time viewer and better believe you got yourself a new subscriber Cheers
Got a tip for you on crumbling the sausage. Use a potato masher while it cooks. It breaks it up into nice crumbles! Great hack!
I'm working from home and get a lot of good lunch ideas from your videos.
I shared your baked pasta with my mom and my drycleaner. I hope I have enough leftovers for tomorrow since they are all asking for it (and thinking I am a great cook)
I just ran into this video this morning and I just made this dinner tonight. Quick turn around. Looks delicious on screen and smells delicious here. Thank you.
Your videos are fun to watch. Thank you to you and your taste tester and staff.
You're like the love child of John Cusack and Fran Fine ... bloody awesome mate... i'm only a recent sub, but have binged your vids for 3 days straight. keep up the good work bud!
if anything, on your website (or on an overlay of your vids), it would be great if you could include the metric conversions for the amounts that you are using... that would be spectacular.
I made this dish the day the video came out. It was delicious and made a lot of people very happy. Thank you sir.
You are most welcome.
Love all the recipes you've shared. You make things look simple and give great tips. I absolutely love all things pasta and am so happy to have found your channel.
Thanks very much. I appreciate you watching.
This one is yet another winner from your channel! I subbed white wine with chicken stock since i didn't have wine handy. I love it, so do my family. You're my go-to for Italian-American favorites!
Pasta is the holy food in my life. Once I found your channel I was like, oh yes, finally. Great stuff.
Going to do your method of layering. Never tried it before with 2 cans of tomatoes. Lots of sauce for 1 lb. of pasta 😋. 👍. Thank you for posting.
I tried this tonight and it was a hit army house. My kids both gave it a 9.5 out of 10. Please keep making these videos they are great.
Good home cook and great father.
Wow!! I just made this and it was AMAZING! It wasn’t dry at all and it was absolutely delicious. I did use ground beef instead of ground sausage, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly!
Thanks for the great recipes!! I’ve made several of your dishes and all have been delicious!
Hi Jim…………Your channel has become the go-to.
I’m 74 (today) and after 50 years of marriage, my wife (who’s a great cook!!) welcomes any effort I make to give her the break she so richly deserves. I’ve made a couple of your recipes and they are beyond wonderful.
And you have to be applauded for your presentation. Always first class.
(I invariably slink away from any clip that begins with ‘Yo…….RUclips. How ya doin’’?)
And the ‘James’ ratings? Brilliant.
And of course, I have subscribed.
Best regards from Toronto, Canada. (Oh…….and ignore the recent Trucker Issue. That ain’t us! As you discovered on Jan 6th last year, there’s no shortage of dimwits in the world. We have them, too.)
