In our household, pasta is the dish we resort to when we don’t want to cook anything labor intensive or time consuming. By incorporating fresh veggies, ground turkey breast, and whole wheat pasta, the meal is nutritionally complete, yet flavorful so that my children still enjoy it. My children could eat the dish a few times a week and not tire of it. The hubby and I, on the other hand, are always looking for new ways to approach traditional pasta dishes.
I recently hosted a get-together with a few friends and their children and cooked up an incredibly rich and delicious baked ziti dish. Most people don’t readily think about this fact, but baked ziti is really a less labor intensive version of lasagna. Assembly doesn’t take nearly the amount of time it would with lasagna and precision isn’t as important. The number of variations are endless as well. You could add ground turkey breast and/or fresh veggies (my first thought is spinach) if desired. I actually made two versions of this recipe for our gathering…a traditional version filled with a variety of delicious cheeses and a vegan version for my son.
Here are the recipes:
Gourmet Baked Ziti
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Sauté chopped onion, garlic and fennel seed until vegetables are translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Cook ground turkey breast thoroughly (temperature of meat should reach 165ºF). Mix in 3/4 of the jar of pasta sauce (reserve some of the sauce for the initial bottom layer and finishing top layer), oregano, sage, and water 1/4 cup at a time (I used about 3/4 cup and that was the perfect consistency). Simmer, stirring occasionally and adding additional water as needed. After the mixture has simmered for approximately 10 minutes, stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Prepare your baking dish with an olive oil spray.
In medium bowl combine ricotta cheese, egg, and 6 ounces of the mozzarella cheese, reserving the last portion for the top.
Begin your bottom layer with the remaining pasta sauce. Continue to layer with meat mixture, cooked pasta, and ricotta cheese mixture, ending with pasta. Top with reserved sauce, reserved mozzarella, and reserved Parmesan cheese.
Cover and bake until heated through, about 40 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Vegan Baked Ziti
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped (you can add more or less to taste)
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 jar Ragu pasta sauce (some of the sauces are not vegan so be sure to read the label. This Tomato Basil sauce is free from dairy, eggs, and soy)
1/2 to 3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
8 ounces vegan mozzarella cheese
12 ounces freshly cooked whole grain ziti (be sure the pasta is egg and soy free)
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Sauté chopped onion, garlic and fennel seed until vegetables are translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Mix in 3/4 of the jar of pasta sauce (reserve some of the sauce for the initial bottom layer and finishing top layer), oregano, sage, and water 1/4 cup at a time (I used about 3/4 cup and that was the perfect consistency). Simmer, stirring occasionally and adding additional water as needed, approximately 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Prepare your baking dish with an olive oil spray.
Begin your bottom layer with the remaining pasta sauce. Continue to layer with sauce mixture, cooked pasta, and mozzarella cheese, ending with pasta. Top with reserved sauce and reserved mozzarella.
Cover and bake until heated through, about 40 minutes or until cheese is melted.
*Note* I recently made a vegan lasagna which includes a recipe for homemade vegan ricotta. You could include this in your vegan baked ziti dish, if desired.
Both dishes were delicious and my guests, including the kids, ate way more than I thought they would. I highly recommend experimenting with both recipes, adding fresh veggies, meats, or subsituting various gourmet cheeses.

ooohhh, that picture made me hungry. Via Food and Wine, here’s one of my favorites- original called for lamb and veal, which I don’t use – I often use 1 lb beef and 1 lb sausage though-
Recipe: Lasagna-Style Baked Pennette with Meat Sauce
MAKE-AHEAD
STAFF-FAVORITE
Ingredients
1 pound pennette or ditali
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground beef
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons chopped marjoram
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart whole milk
2 large egg yolks
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain well.
In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef (both pounds) and cook, stirring to break up the lumps, until the meat is beginning to brown, 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, marjoram and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook over moderate heat, whisking, for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over moderately high heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is very thick and boiling, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Stir all but 1 1/2 cups of the sauce into the meat mixture along with the pasta and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the pasta into a 3-quart baking dish. Spread the reserved 1 1/2 cups of sauce on top.
Bake the pasta in the center of the oven for about 30 minutes, until bubbling. Preheat the broiler. Broil the pasta 8 inches from the heat for about 2 minutes, until the top is browned and bubbling. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Make Ahead The recipe can be prepared through Step 3 and refrigerated overnight. An additional 30 minutes of cooking time may be necessary.

I like to do a combo of mixed veggies, chunk chicken or tuna, shell/bowtie/macaroni noodles and a standard white sauce. It’s easy to whip up and works for our family. We add seasoned salt to our own servings if desired.

Wish we had a more “gourmet” recipe, but we generally enjoy just assembling a lasagne in a crockpot and letting it slow cook for a while. Sometimes we’ve used zucchini instead of noodles, but that does require just a little more time to cook the veggies instead and let out more liquid. I think the most decadent thing we did was make a chocolate pasta, real strawberries as the “sauce”, and whipped cream. It was tasty, but a lot of work. With all of those little ones around, I’d probably try some mac & cheese from scratch, chicken mixed in w/ noodles & sauce, maybe try making your own ravioli if you have time or want to try something different with the kids (not hard, but does take a while) – something along those lines.

It’s not fancy, but I have yet to meet anyone who dislikes it. Combine cooked macaroni, velveeta cheese, mushroom soup, milk and tuna in a dish and bake @ 350 for 30 minutes or until top is browning.

baked spaghetti, normal spaghetti ( left overs work great) in a baking pan topped with pepperoni and mozz cheese. then bake. YUMMY!
my gourmet pasta recipe is simply this:
whole wheat pasta (boil and drain)
mix in 1/2 cup of soy milk and 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast
salt as needed
nutritional yeast makes it taste like cheese plus you get lots of B vitamins.

I LOVE Carbonara! This is a great Recipe that I’ve found from Rachael Ray!
•Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
•1 pound pasta, such as spaghetti or rigatoni
•1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (enough to coat bottom of pan)
•1/4 pound pancetta (Italian bacon), chopped
•1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
•5 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped
•1/2 cup dry white wine
•2 large egg yolks
•Freshly grated Romano cheese
•Handful of finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Directions:
1. Put a large saucepot of water on to boil. Add a liberal amount of salt and the pasta. Cook to al dente, about 8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and pancetta. Brown pancetta 2 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Add wine and stir up all the pan drippings.
3. In a separate bowl, beat yolks, then add 1 large ladleful (about 1/2 cup) of the pasta cooking water. This tempers the eggs and keeps them from scrambling when added to the pasta.
4. Drain pasta well and add it directly to the skillet with pancetta and oil. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta. Toss rapidly to coat the pasta without cooking the egg. Remove pan from heat and add a big handful of cheese, lots of pepper, and a little salt. Continue to toss and turn the pasta until it soaks up egg mixture and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley and extra grated Romano.

I like Basic Pasta
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
Directions
In a medium sized bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the flour, add the slightly beaten egg, and mix. Mixture should form a stiff dough. If needed, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 3 to 4 minutes. With a pasta machine or by hand roll dough out to desired thinness. Use machine or knife to cut into strips of desired width.

One of our favorite pasta dishes is spicy hot shrimp. The shrimp is better grilled, but if it’s cold weather, I fry them up in the pan or broil them in some garlic olive oil. Then just toss the cooked shrimp in with some cooked linguine noodles, olive oil, black pepper, red pepper flakes, sea salt, dried basil, garlic salt and a bit of butter to your liking. It’s really easy to make and very filling.

One of my favorites is super easy. I cook gnocchi and then drain. While draining, I put olive oil and butter in the pan along with italian seasoning, salt, pepper and crab meat (I also use diced, cooked asparagus sometimes). Once that is blended (a minute or two, I add the gnocchi and some grated parmesian cheese. I put on plates then top with additional cheese. Super easy and very tasty.
Cook orzo pasta, add cherry tomatoes halved, chopped red onion, 1 clove of garlic, feta cheese, fresh basil, olive oil and cracked black pepper.

My favorite pasta dish is grilled shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta, you can add a light alfredo sauce too! Yum!
I’m a Rockin’ Mama facebook fan (Sk Sweeps)
I love pasta! My favorite dish is probably fetticine with spinach pesto and roasted red peppers.
We love regular old spaghetti in meat sauce.
I like Penne pasta with chicken and marinara sauce and crushed red pepper.

I like to make individual Lasagna. Instead of layering noodles, meat sauce, cheese, you take one noodle, put a layer of each and roll it up. Do that for as many as you want, bake as usual. You have individual Lasagnas. You take the left overs and freeze them. They make a great lunch for hubby. He takes a frozen one (or two) to work. By lunch they are defrosted and he pops them in the micro to warm them up

One of my favorite pasta dishes is Pasta Primavera made with lots of oven roasted broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, red onions, and lots of garlic. I got a taste for it when I worked at Greensburg Country Club as a teenager. The Chef would make it for us every once in a while. Good luck to everyone!
Lasagna is mine and my family’s favorite
I like to make a Pasta with tuna and green olives. This is not an original recipe but I cannot remember where I got it. We have it at least monthly at our house.
4 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 large cloves garlic, minced
Pinch hot red chile flakes
3 Tbs. finely minced fresh flat-leaf parsley or 1 TBS dried
16 oz can of diced tomatoes with their juices
1 can of tuna packed in olive oil, well drained and very finely minced
1/3 cup quartered green olives
Pinch of salt
1 lb. dried penne, rigatoni, or spaghetti
parmesan cheese
Combine all ingredients except cooked pasta, let sauce marinate for at least 10 minutes, add cooked pasta and serve with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

When I was little, my mom used to slice hot dogs into little pieces and then stick 2 or 3 strands of uncooked spaghetti noodles through the middle of them. And then boil it! So the hot dog chunks would be cooked inside the pasta! It was a great idea!
Awesome blog by the way and thanks for the giveaway!

Sorry, I don’t have any gourmet dishes. I’m looking for Vegan Dishes for my husband and this one sounds great! For vegan spaghetti, we use meatless crumbles in the sauce, that’s as gourmet as it gets.
I don’t really have a gourmet dish but I like to make my own Beefaroni using homemade sauce/ ground beef/ and diary free cheese. Love it.

I have a macaroni n cheese recipe that my family has always enjoyed very much. I adapted it from a recipe I found somewhere. It’s very simple and good. When all the kids (4) were home I always used to double the recipe.
Butter or margarine 3 Tablespoons
Flour 2 Tablespoons
Milk 1 cup
Salt 1 teaspoon
Pepper 1/8 teaspo
Macaroni, cooked 3 cups
Cheese, diced 1/2 lb.
Cracker Crumbs 1/4 cup
Paprika
Makes 4 servings. Double if more than 2 or 3 people.
Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter or margarine in a skillet. Mix in flour and allow to brown slightly. Then gradually add milk, stir until thickened.
Add cheese and stir until melted and blended. Meanwhile cook macaroni. Add macaroni to cheese mixture and mix well. Pour into baking dish.
Top with 1 Tablespoon butter or margarine and cracker crumbs. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
I love Seafood Alfredo
I love rice noodles with alfredo sauce and asparagus on the side, and veggie meatballs.
I really love acorn squash and pear ravioli with mascarpone cheese!

I make a dish where you crush up 2 sleeves of ritz crackers add 1/2 cup of melted butter and some garlic salt to the crumbs. Take half and spread it in a 9×13 pan. Take 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and 1 cup of sour cream mix it together. Toss in about 5 cut up cubed chicken breasts (don’t have to be cooked) and then mix that. Spread the chicken mix on the cracker base, and then top the chicken with more of the crackers. Cook for 30 minutes on 350. Serve that over pasta. We like rotini or capavelli noodles for it, but you could use any kind!
My favorite pasta dish is a pasta salad. Prepare a box of colorful rigotini. slice and dice some veggies such as onions, broccoli, Sugar Snap peas, and add grape tomatoes. 1 small bottle of Italian dressing. chill a couple of hours and eat. you can add ham and vary the fresh veggies that you can find at the grocers. I love it in summer and the rest of the year too.
I have begun making mile high lasagna in the crock, and add creamed spinach in the layers, and half ground beef, half italian sausage.
i also make an impromtu fresh pomodoro sauce by saute’ing fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano, red onion, garlic and EVOO.i add a bit of sugar and toss in angel hair pasta. i like my sauce chunky. and very garlic and basily.
I also make a mozerrela en carroza. italian grilled cheese, italian bread dipped in egg and butter, grilled in fresh mozzerella and basil leaves. dip in sauce.

Baked Ziti Recipe
Cook time: 55 minutes
If you don’t have Italian seasoning in the pantry, use 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
Ingredients
1 pound ziti (can sub penne) pasta
Olive oil
1 pound bulk Italian sausage or ground beef or pork
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary (or basil), minced
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large jar of marinara sauce (about 32 ounces) or make your own tomato sauce
1/2 pound of mozzarella cheese, grated
1 heaping cup of ricotta cheese
1 cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
Method
1 Bring a large pot of water to a strong boil. Add about a tablespoon of salt for every 2 quarts of water. Add the pasta and boil, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente—edible but still a little firm. Drain the pasta through a colander. Toss with a little olive oil so the pasta does not stick together while you make the sauce.
2 Pour a tablespoon or so of olive oil into a large sauté pan on medium-high to heat. When the oil is hot, add the bulk sausage or ground meat. Do not crowd the pan (work in batches if needed). Break up any large chunks of sausage as it cooks. Brown well. Don’t stir that often or it will be more difficult for the meat to brown. If you are using ground beef or pork instead of sausage, add a little salt.
3 When the meat is mostly browned, add the onions and stir well to combine. Sauté everything until the onions are translucent and beginning to brown, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary or basil, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Cook 1 minute, then add the tomato sauce and stir well. Bring to a simmer.
4 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole pan, then dot the surface with half the ricotta cheese. Ladle in some sauce with the pasta, mix it well and add the pasta into the casserole.
5 Pour the rest of the sauce over the pasta, dot the remaining ricotta cheese over the pasta, and sprinkle on top both the mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven until the top is nicely browned, about 20 minutes.
Yield: Serves at least 8

Not really gourmet but I love making lasagna with meat sauce, baby spinach and tons of cheese.

I try to eat healthy foods…so what I’d do is start out with whole grain pasta and just add “good stuff to it” like lots of different vegetables, wheat germ, flax seed, salmon or chicken, maybe some egg whites, a little bit of black pepper, curry powder, etc. Then I’d add a combination of extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar and water. There is no exact measurements. I do this all the time and it always comes out good.
We like pink sauce – half tomato sauce, half alfredo sauce

My fav is just a simple baked ziti.
1 pound dry ziti pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
1 1/2 cups sour cream
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain.
2. In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
I’m a bit fan of angel hair with olive oil and Tofurky sausage.
It’s hardly fancy, but green peppers, onion (both chopped), carrots (grated) and browned burger (beef, turkey etc) with sauce and pasta (usually elbows in my house) = goulash.
My favorite gourmet pasta dish is Grant’s Special Mardi Gras Pasta found on allrecipes.com:
Ingredients
1 (12 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped andouille sausage
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1 cup fresh shrimp – peeled, deveined, and chopped
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/3 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper
1 1/3 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
1 1/3 tablespoons chopped yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup diced cold butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the fettuccine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the green onions, mushrooms, and andouille sausage until the mushrooms begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato, and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant, 3 minutes; stir in the shrimp, and cook and stir until the shrimp are opaque and pink, about 3 more minutes. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Pour in heavy cream, and cook until the cream has reduced and thickened. Stir in the green, red, and yellow bell pepper.
Drop in about 2 tablespoons of the diced cold butter. Holding the skillet by the handle, swirl the sauce over medium-low heat until the butter has melted and incorporated; repeat several times with 2 more tablespoons of butter until all remaining butter is incorporated. Remove the sauce from the heat, and stir in parsley. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Gently toss the sauce with the cooked fettuccine to serve.
I LOVE pasta, and stuffed shells are one of my faves. I always tend to add things outside of the recipe, but this is the basic recipe:
24 jumbo pasta shells
1 15-oz. container ricotta
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 26-oz. jar spaghetti sauce
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Mist a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Cook pasta shells according to package label directions; drain and set aside to cool. While pasta cooks, in a large bowl, stir together ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, egg, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and nutmeg.
2. Spread 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce over bottom of baking dish. Stuff shells with cheese-and-spinach mixture and place in dish. Spoon remaining sauce over shells and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
3. Cover baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake about 10 minutes longer, until bubbly and cheese begins to brown.

I”m a horrible cook so I can’t really give advice on cooking a new pasta dish. However, I will say that I love manicotti and if you spiked the ricotta with spinach and other finely diced veggies, it would most likely be very delish!

We love this one from Sara Moulton from her cookbook, Sara’s Secrets for Weeknight Meals. It’s yummy!!
Ingredients
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces frozen breakfast sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick (Note: do not defrost sausages before cutting them)
1 garlic clove, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon fresh sage, rinsed, dried, and chopped (or 1/4 teaspoon rubbed)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, rinsed and dried (or 1/3 teaspoon dried)
2 cans chopped tomatoes (14 1/2 ounces each)
1 pound rotelle (cartwheel or other shaped pasta)
2/3 cup heavy cream
Freshly milled black pepper
1 1/2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
Cooking Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot; reduce the heat to medium, add the sausage, and saute, stirring occasionally, until it is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. (Don’t discard the fat released by the sausage.) Add the garlic, sage, and thyme; cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, reduce the heat to low, and simmer the sauce for 20 minutes.
During the last 10 minutes, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the cream to the sauce and simmer just until the sauce has thickened slightly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drain the pasta, reserving 2/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Stir the pasta cooking liquid into the sauce and toss with the drained pasta. Top each portion with some of the Parmigiano-Reggiano.

My current favorite pasta recipe is a Giada De Laurentis dish which is Penne with Sun-dried Tomato Pesto.
12 ounces penne pasta
1 (8.5-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil
2 garlic cloves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Directions
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, blend the sun-dried tomatoes and their oil, garlic, salt and pepper, to taste, and basil in a food processor and blend until the tomatoes are finely chopped. Transfer the tomato mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the Parmesan.
Add the pasta to the pesto and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper and serve.
It is simple to make and is really good!
