Method

5 steps Oven 400°F 10 min prep · 50 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set out a deep baking dish and a piece of foil large enough to cover it tightly.

Cook

Step 2. Stir Pasta, Tomato Sauce, Chicken Broth, and Chicken Sausage together in the dish. Spread evenly and press the pasta below the liquid.
Step 3. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the pasta is nearly tender, about 40 minutes. Stir once halfway through, pressing any exposed pasta back into the sauce.
Step 4. Remove the foil and stir. Sprinkle Mozzarella and Parmesan over the pasta, then bake uncovered until the pasta is tender and the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 5. Let the ziti rest until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes, then serve.

Tips

Swap it

Use dry penne if you can't find ziti; check that it's tender before adding the cheese.

Good to know

Seal the foil tightly so the steam stays in the dish and cooks the pasta evenly.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days and reheat with a splash of water.
