Awesome no-cook baked ziti

I also made it last week. It was so good and so so easy! I added seasoning before baking. Thanks.
I also tried it with chopped meat (raw) broken up, instead of cheese and all water and it was also good. Except that I used elbow macaroni and it came out mushy - maybe ziti would have stayed firmer.

Can anyone tell me what size the package of noodles are? I have one that says 12 oz ( I've never made ziti yet) and I'm not sure if this is enough for a full recipe or it's less.
TIA

How many packages of ziti? 1 or 2? I found that one does not really make a full 9x13. If the recipe calls for 1 has anyone ever used 2? did you change how much marinara?

yup 1 makes a full 9X13 but if you have a big family jsut put 2 packages and double e/t else
also a reg package of macoroni is 16 oz but if you only have 12 it might still be ok mambe put a drop less maranara and milk water

Awesome: No cook bakes ziti! They all bake chocolate cake instead (and the world is a better place for it!)
Very Happy

I just saw this thread now, and this sounds right up my alley. I'm wondering--has anyone tried it with whole wheat ziti?

So funny to see this here. I ate melaveh malkah this week by someone and LOVED the ziti. I asked for the recipe and, this is I. It was made with whole wheat pasta and was just delicious. Now that I tasted it I will be making it.

Which kind of cheese did pple who make it use? Or plan to use? And how much?

This sounds like my skip a step lasagna. It's three layers - 3 noodles (regular, uncooked), a third of the sauce (28 -32 oz. of red stuff, 1 lb. cottage cheese, herbs and seasoning of your choice, 1 egg), 1/2 - 2/3 cup shredded cheese per layer. Then pour one cup of water around the perimeter, cover tightly, bake at 350 - 375 an hour and a half.

Yes, there's all that starch. I never thought about it.
Best part - oven stays pareve since it's covered well.
