Baked Ziti Primavera
This is a vegetarian baked ziti recipe that I created for a Cub Scout potluck banquet, hence the large serving size.
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
No two aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.
