Love listening to Nonna. She reminds me so much of my Sicilian grandma who is no longer with us unfortunately. Keep on cookin' and sharing your stories of the old country Nonna!
You two are the cutest most delightful informative duo ever! I loved learning this recipe. What incredible fortune to have a grandmother like that! Thank you Nonna and Rossella! You made my day!
My grandma would cook big italian feasts & she would watch everybody else eat but she would never eat until everybody else was done. When my fiance first met my grandparents he had a stomoch ache for a week lol, my grandpa kept saying "eat eat" he had never ate so much & drank so much red wine in his life.
Holly Roxy Are you maried i would love to mary an italian and your beautiful miss Roxy😘 lol just jk but foreal though ill make you Some delicious Mexican dishes and you could make me some italian dishes 😁
I know this is a pretty old video. I just discovered looking for a true Italian recipe. I love love having and seeing grandma's in the kitchen.. thank you so much for sharing
Been cooking (a true labor of love) for many years and, unbelievably, have never made baked Ziti. Decided to do so and have watched about a dozen other recipes on RUclips all from trusted sites. I have found yours to be the best for various reasons and have read many of the comments for suggestions, some of which I believe are excellent. Add to that your lovely Nonna and your infatuating gorgeous smile and personality, and I'm sold!
Rossella, making this just now, just wondering if it is okay to mix the ziti right in with the sauce and then put it in layers in the pan? Will it still come out good?
Thanks Rossella, I love your style, your recipes and you make me laugh! Great cookery show with your lovely Nonnas. Thank you from Liverpool, England. XX
Classic Bensonhurst Grand daughter and (nonna)Grand mother.If you watch these 2 you learn little tricks and you get a new level of Italian Cooking also very traditional southern cooking
I make my baked ziti the same way only I use ricotta cheese and fresh mozzarella shredded mozzarella shredded parmesan and you are so right it is all about the layering that's how my father taught me when I was a little girl
Oh Rosella & Nonna Romana this was so so good. I made it in individual dishes & then froze it before adding the mozzarella. I then can bake it as I want it from frozen & put the fresh mozzarella on like you do. Fabulous recipe & as a long time subscriber I look forward to all of your videos.
Thank you Rossella and Nonna. I will definitely be trying this recipe. I think the fresh mozzarella must be the difference. Thanks for emphasizing that point. Keep up the great work with the videos. I love that you teach along the way, with the tips from your Nonnas.
Fresh mozzarella really does make all the difference and its totally worth the price difference considering its 100% cheese instead of "cheese product" whatever that is! Lol
I made this and it was delicious! Would have put a little more sauce, but my husband and I were very happy with how it tasted. Thank You for making this video!
Her granddaughter picked on Nonnie. Throughout the video. No praise as the best cook in the world which her grandmother would like to hear...everyone’s Ziti is equally good she says. “Nonnie picks the tiniest centimeter that is missing the mozzarella” I saw a lot of spots missed. Poor Nonnie. Nonnie just has to go along. Give Nonnie some power! I love Nonnie❤️
Sadly, she does this a lot. I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Her Nonna knows that she is not in charge and must stay quiet. Her body language tells she gets frustrated with the process. She would not get away with treating our Nonna that way! Our Nonna would tell her she is shameless!
I am always learning and trying new recipes. I think you're both beautiful and so are all the people in the beginning. Wonderful people and wonderful food. I plan on making this wonderful dish but I will have to find the proper go to assemble it. Thank you both.
Love you and your nonna, she reminds me of my grandma, spunky and full of life making everyone happy just being around her. I would like to know is it possible to get the clay pot, maybe have it shipped from italy. Also, where can I get the baking dish you used? I've got your first cookbook, Great recipes.
Thank you..Nonna!!! I love you & your recipe. My dish always has flaws..im gonna try your way..and for the olive oil tip on not to use on pasta, you read my mind😗💋Thank You!
Very nice, I love Nonna! As we know, everyone’s recipes are different. My family recipe is similar to the pasta al forno that Laura Vitale makes on her channel. To each his own. I like more meat and variety. Stay blessed, I wish my Noni was still with me!
Oh mama- Mia I just love love your Nonna : * Thank you Nonna for sharing your amazing ziti recipe. I will definitely use fresh mozzarella. Much love to you Nonna & your granddaughter
this looks delicious!! will be cooking this for sure :) ... love your Italian pot and casserole pan, do you have links to where we might be able to buy them? thanks a ton.. blessings :)
You said you wanted a Thick Sauce after 30mins. However you never said how you did it. Did you Cook Longer or did you add some Paste???? Never told us in video...
ciao Rossella, adoro la tua nonna, è così dolce. E' un piacere vedervi cucinare. Anche io ho il mio canale di cucina, mi farebbe piacere qualche tuo consiglio e anche della tua nonna. Vi mando un abbraccio dall'Italia 😆
luv ur channel ! greetings from Australia ! I was just wondering for the size of the pasta al forno u made here, how many people do you think this dish would serve ? xo
Once the sauce is done cooking, why not just put a) stir the cheeses together in a big bowl, b) put the sauce into the big bowl with the cheese and stir together, c) put the pasta into the sauce/cheese mixture in the same big bowl and stir until the ziti are all nicely coated? Then you just put it the coated ziti into the baking dish. I get it if you want a layered appearance, but if you are just feeding a bunch of people and want happy guests and satisfied children, just do this approach!
OettingerCroat you can if you want to, but I like the way the cheeses melt together with the layering, plus my Nonna always did it this way! 😀 But give it a shot the other way and let me know how it goes!
Hey! so I made the ziti a few nights ago, and one inevitability that happens when you mix the sauce in with the cheese as I described when we last spoke - it becomes a bit too watery. It's not swimming, but sometimes when you joust it with your fork, a liquidy water/fat will come through. It tastes amazing! And cleanup is a bit easier. But next time I may just a) reduce the tomato/meat sauce a bit longer, b) put all the meat and only maybe half of the tomato into the cheese mixture. Again though, it was absolutely delicious and I ate leftovers for two days afterwards! Thanks for the delicious recipe. Also try it with Italian sausage, buy it fresh from the butcher then come home and peel the sausage open. Basically ground pork instead of ground beef, with some zesty kick. Grazie e a presto! :*
I mix my ziti with ricotta cheese and a raw egg before putting everything together.. It holds the pasta together real nice .
Love listening to Nonna. She reminds me so much of my Sicilian grandma who is no longer with us unfortunately. Keep on cookin' and sharing your stories of the old country Nonna!
Thank you! I will!

Bethzaida Vasquez I know! She's a treasure ❤️

Grandma's accent reminds me so much of my own grandma's accent. She made fantastic lasagna.The baked ziti looks great.

Dont tell Nonna what to do when shes spreading the mozzarella...she got this! I love her! She should have made this......her way.
Thank you Rossella and Nonna. I will definitely be trying this recipe. I think the fresh mozzarella must be the difference. Thanks for emphasizing that point. Keep up the great work with the videos. I love that you teach along the way, with the tips from your Nonnas.

concordato lasciare che nonna lo faccia.
Basta...parole😬

Nonna needs her own show. Would've been much better.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO. 🥰 IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES WHEN I USED TO COOK WITH MY GRANDPARENTS. GOD BLESS. 🙏❤🙏
looks delicious! gonna make this for my family 😊
This looks so good and I love your Nonna and I love y'all accent and I will send this recipe to my granddaughter Happy Valentine's Day to both of you
Your nonna is sooooo cute I can’t handle it😩🥰
Fresh mozzarella, pecorino, romano & parmesan cheeses, oh My! ..More cheese the better. Brown, crispy edges & cheese pull are everything 😋🍝.
Beautiful dish, beautiful Nonna! God bless!
I haven't made this in so long. Its one of my favorite dishes.
I miss my nonna, but I'm the nonna now. I think nonnas are the best teacher for grandchildren. If I cook with my daughter we never agree!
You have to teach those little ones, Nonna! Brava!
I really liked how you discussed the clay pot.
Nonna is so adorable! I will definitely make her recipe Thank you:)
Nonna is the best, we love you...
Made this tonight. It was delicious and everyone raved about it.

I love the top crispy and brown...
I am an 11 year old Italian girl learning to cook so I will watch this video
Jnet Egiziaco good luck doll!! Let me know if you have any questions!!
That's awesome
What can be used in lieu of red wine? I never have it on hand.
I would like to see more better camera shots of the actual cooking. Can really see what's going on in the pots
Looks very appetizing but where is the ricotta cheese?
Very nice, I love Nonna! As we know, everyone’s recipes are different. My family recipe is similar to the pasta al forno that Laura Vitale makes on her channel. To each his own. I like more meat and variety. Stay blessed, I wish my Noni was still with me!
Rossella, Your Nonna is so adorable! Will definitely make her recipe. Thank you:)
Never had baked ziti without ricotta. That’s the way my mom from Naples, Italy always made it.
This was amazing! Any advice on reheating the whole thing? Maybe low heat for 30 mins or so?
Nonna you are beautiful and knowledgeable. Thank you for all your recipes
Oh mama- Mia I just love love your Nonna : *
Thank you Nonna for sharing your amazing ziti recipe. I will definitely use fresh mozzarella. Much love to you Nonna & your granddaughter

You said you wanted a Thick Sauce after 30mins. However you never said how you did it. Did you Cook Longer or did you add some Paste???? Never told us in video...
I need to get a red dish like the one you have. Where did you get it from?
Got that dish at HomeGoods!
You should have mix the noddles with ricotta cheese and sour cream egg and i cup of sauce and then layer
She Is so cuteeee just wanna hug her...
Sooo cute
My favorite thing my nonnie made was meat ravioli with her sauce with all the meats so good
ciao Rossella, adoro la tua nonna, è così dolce. E' un piacere vedervi cucinare.
Anche io ho il mio canale di cucina, mi farebbe piacere qualche tuo consiglio e anche della tua nonna.
Vi mando un abbraccio dall'Italia 😆
tatamFrancesca grazie!! 😘😘😘
luv ur channel ! greetings from Australia !
I was just wondering for the size of the pasta al forno u made here, how many people do you think this dish would serve ? xo
This could serve about 6-8 people. It depends how hungry they are!!!
Grandma is awesome. Would be a much better video if she didn't talk so much
8:55
*Nonna wanted to tell you to put a little bit of water to take the remaining sauce* 😂❤
Why didn’t you show how it looked when you cut into it? Was it runny?
U guys are definitely from Bari!! I know that accent anywhere lol
Thanks, She is so sweet and Beautiful! wich brand of crushed tomates you used?
OMG that baked ziti it's a beautiful thing mmmmmm
what is beccetta baraza?
It was orecchiette Bolognese
Nona gave you some tough love ( hehe ).
Gravy ????
you can't call it a baked ziti without the ricotta cheese
I'm going to make this with chickpea pasta!
Always make it with ricotta.
Rosella, is that your kitchen?
Rosella your grandmother is beautiful!
Thank You so much! And today is her birthday!!!
I absolutely love this dish! Where can I find the clay pot?
I wish you would've put the quantity of everything included in the video that would have made it much easier to follow this recipe
The link to the full recipe and ingredients list is in the box!
I want a big clay pot like that!! LaBella has the small one...where can I get a big one, R? I don't want to steal Nonna's LOL
membernypd I got this particular dish from home goods! La bella is expecting a new shipment soon!!
Grab me one!!! ;-)
Once the sauce is done cooking, why not just put a) stir the cheeses together in a big bowl, b) put the sauce into the big bowl with the cheese and stir together, c) put the pasta into the sauce/cheese mixture in the same big bowl and stir until the ziti are all nicely coated?

Rossella's Cooking with Nonna awesome! Thanks for your swift reply! Cent'anni to you and alla tua nonna
OettingerCroat aww no problem!! I'm a night owl!! Un bacione 😘😘😘

Grazie e a presto! :*
We always put ricotta and egg in our baked ziti
Rename: 'Rossella's baked Ziti with Nonna's help'. I would really rather Nonna show us, but still good overall.
I spoke too soon! after following all directions, came out great, thank you!!
5 minutes with Nonna and then she takes over the rest of the show. Doesn't even compliment Nonna from whom she learned this recipe
Your Nonna's eyes are so pretty!
I love the recipe, it's definitely going in my recipe box!
I would like to ask where you got the clay pots & baking dishes. I would love to get a set.
You don't drain the fat with 4 tbsp of olive oil and the hamburger grease in it?
As an Irish kinda tired of the old world Italians thinking their food is #1
Beatiful intro
