This Easy Skillet Baked Ziti is from America’s Test Kitchen TV show. It’s only one pan, easy clean-up, and very good flavor.
One of the easiest, if not the easiest pasta recipes I’ve ever made.
I love the simplicity and one-pan factor with this dish.
I like to serve the pasta with a salad and crusty bread. Makes for a great weeknight meal.

This Skillet Baked Ziti is really easy and makes a great weeknight meal.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt & fresh ground pepper
- 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups water
- 12 ounces ziti pasta 3 3/4 cups
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaf minced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 475.
Combine oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet and saute over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. (If your skillet is not oven-safe, transfer the pasta mixture into a shallow 2-quart casserole dish before sprinkling with the cheese and baking).
Add crushed tomatoes, water, ziti, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Cover and cook, stirring often and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a vigorous simmer until ziti is almost tender 15-18 minutes.
Stir in cream, Parmesan, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over ziti. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cheese has melted and browned, about 10 minutes. Serve.
Enjoy this Easy Skillet Baked Ziti!
