This baked ziti is layered almost like a lasagna to ensure every bite has enough creamy ricotta, stringy mozzarella and tangy tomato sauce But the key to its success comes from undercooking the pasta during the initial boil so it stays perfectly al dente, even after a trip to the oven Heavy cream is added to prevent the ricotta from becoming grainy or dry during baking, letting it be its most. Baked ziti can become dry for several reasons. When assembling the dish, be sure to cover the pasta with enough of the sauce so that the noodles don't dry out. Also, to prevent moisture from evaporating while cooking, cover the dish tightly with foil. Cook ziti according to package directions; drain; set aside.
