Whether you&#8217;re planning a cozy family dinner or a gathering with friends, this recipe delivers the same cheesy, savory satisfaction of the original.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Five-Cheese Ziti al Forno<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"recipe-ingredients__list recipe-ingredients__collection splitColumns\">\n<li><strong>Uncooked ziti:<\/strong> A short, tubular noodle like ziti is best for this five-cheese <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/pasta-dishes\/baked-pasta\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/pasta-dishes\/baked-pasta\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pasta bake<\/a>\u2014that way you get sauce and cheese inside every delicious bite. That said, you can use any small, tubular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pasta shapes<\/a> like lumache or mezzi rigatoni.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jarred sauces:<\/strong>\u00a0Two jars of marinara and one jar of Alfredo is the best-of-both-worlds 2-1 ratio when it comes to the sauces in this recipe. Who can resist the combination of zesty tomato and garlicky Alfredo?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Melting cheeses:<\/strong> Olive Garden uses a blend of ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheeses for their famous five-cheese ziti, and we pretty much stuck to the same script\u2014except for the Asiago. We swapped that one for bolder, sharp provolone. We also used reduced-fat ricotta and part-skim mozzarella to keep things lighter, but feel free to use their full-fat counterparts if you&#8217;re in the mood for a truly decadent dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parmesan cheese:<\/strong> Parm is technically the fifth cheese in five-cheese ziti al forno, but instead of adding it to the cheesy sauce, we reserved its nutty qualities for the cheesy, crunchy panko topping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Panko bread crumbs:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Panko<\/a>\u00a0bread crumbs are also needed for the topping, which gives the pasta a light, flaky, golden crust that&#8217;s irresistible with the melted cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> This dish was made with garlic girlies in mind, hence the garlic-forward Alfredo sauce and garlicky crumb topping, but you can always omit it if it&#8217;s not your thing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil:<\/strong>\u00a0This fruity oil ties the breadcrumbs, garlic and cheese together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh herbs:<\/strong> Minced fresh parsley or basil are optional here, but are strongly encouraged. Every pasta dish can benefit from an herbaceous finish, if you ask me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the pasta<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2063351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Five-Cheese-Ziti-Al-Forno_TOHD24_237475_SuzanNajjar1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F and cook the ziti al dente according to the package instructions for this delicious Five-Cheese Ziti by Taste Recipes.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Suzan Najjar for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Start by preheating your oven to 350\u00b0F.

Since the pasta will be piping hot, let it cool for 10 minutes before garnishing it with fresh parsley or basil and serving it.<\/p>\n<h2>Five-Cheese Ziti al Forno Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add meat:<\/strong> Although this five-cheese ziti recipe is a delicious vegetarian dinner, you can always add some protein. Try cubed chicken, slices of spicy sausage or a bolognese meat sauce instead of marinara.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it spicy:<\/strong> Kick things up a notch with red pepper flakes, a jar of spicy vodka sauce in place of the marinara, or a few crushed Calabrian chiles added to the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go gluten-free:<\/strong> Can&#8217;t tolerate gluten? Swap the regular ziti and panko bread crumbs for gluten-free versions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Five-Cheese Ziti al Forno<\/h2>\n<p>The best thing about a cheesy pasta bake\u2014other than the first bite, of course\u2014is storing the leftovers in the same casserole dish. Then all you have to do to eat some is reheat a serving in the microwave or oven. Store leftover five-cheese ziti al forno\u00a0in the refrigerator for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to reheat baked ziti?<\/h3>\n<p>To keep your ziti from drying out, add a little more sauce and cheese to the top, then cover the baking dish with foil and pop it back in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes at 350\u00b0. If you&#8217;re going the microwave route, transfer a serving of pasta to a microwave-safe bowl or plate and reheat it for one to two minutes. Sprinkle it with Parm and herbs, and enjoy.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze five-cheese ziti al forno?<\/h3>\n<p>You bet! We highly recommend doubling the recipe and making two trays of five-cheese ziti al forno just so you can freeze one of them. Save the fresh herbs and panko crumb topping for when you go to bake it, however, so the top of your casserole doesn&#8217;t turn brown or soggy once thawed. Five-cheese ziti al forno will last for up to three months in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h2>Five-Cheese Ziti al Forno Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2063357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Five-Cheese-Ziti-Al-Forno_TOHD24_237475_SuzanNajjar8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A close-up shot of the Five-Cheese Ziti's crispy topping, revealing the melted mozzarella and crunchy panko crust.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Suzan Najjar for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What does <em>pasta al forno<\/em> mean?<\/h3>\n<p><em>Pasta al forno<\/em> means &#8220;baked pasta&#8221;\u00a0in Italian, which is the simplest way to describe this over-the-top baked ziti dish.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you make five-cheese ziti even better?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a few extra minutes, you can make\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-alfredo-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-alfredo-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homemade Alfredo sauce<\/a> that&#8217;s rich and creamy and makes a world of difference.

My family loved it! I made the recipe as is. Because I have a 19 year old, and most nights there are a friend or 2 that show up hungry. However, tonight was a quiet night, so it was just my family of 4, and my mother. So, I have half a pan of leftovers! Next time I'll split into 2 pans, one for now,  & one for later. All that being said, this was delicious! Im a nervous Nellie with new recipes, so it took a little longer to assemble this time. However, truthfully this is really a very easy dish when you accomplish it once! I just want to say thank you! This is going into the regular monthly rotation! I appreciate when recipes come together as expected, this one was very well put together, and very accurate in the amount of servings stated!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-10-26","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"curlylis85"},"reviewBody":"This is so good!
