Best Baked Ziti Low Cal Beg for the Recipe Dish

May 22, 2013  Recipes | Uncategorized

 

Baked Ziti Low Calorie- that tastes amazing!  My whole family always begs for me to make this!  kellyelko.com

I’d rather swim with alligators than clean baseboards.

I’d rather run through a bee hive than clean the shower.

I’d rather give up going to thrift shops for a year than iron (ok, well maybe not that).

I’d rather cook a meal for an army of 200 than clean the oven.

Low Fat Baked Ziti - that tastes amazing!  My whole family always begs for me to make this!  kellyelko.com

I have a confession to make and I know you won’t judge me.  I have never cleaned my oven (shame).

But I do love to cook.  So my oven looks like a nuclear disaster and I always kick myself and ask why oh why didn’t I get a self cleaning oven?

One of our favorite messy recipes is baked ziti.  It’s amazingly delish but I just take it out of the oven quickly and ignore the smoldering mess left behind in my oven.

It’s the perfect one pan dish to whip up with my girls on a Friday movie night – but boy is it messy.

I’d rather spend time after dinner watching a great movie and munching on buttery popcorn – not worrying about cleaning up my oven.

My new motto:  Less cleaning time = more family time!

The solution:  A LG EasyClean™ Double Oven Range with  EasyClean™: A Clean Oven in Minutes, Not Hours.

All LG double oven ranges provide a quick and convenient way to clean your oven while still being able to use the conventional self-clean method. EasyClean works in three simple steps.

No chemicals or high heat needed to keep your oven sparkling clean. To learn more about LG EasyClean click here.
*Heavy build-up may require additional manual effort or use of the full self-clean feature

    At present my double ovens won’t work. In fact, the self cleaning one doesn’t even open! I never realized what friends they were. I can still smell the aromas of turkey, pork, chicken and my most favorite of all, and the messiest Leg of Lamb! These are the smells of my childhood…we would open the door when arriving home from church and we could
    catch the waft of “heaven” . Dinner ready!

    I love to make Mexican Pizza. Get Pizza dough, cook it for 5 minutes or so and add your favorite taco topping. I add refried beans, taco meat, salsa and cheese. Then after I cook it, I add sour cream – YUM! Cook it again for about 5-10 minutes and your done! Easy delicious dinner in minutes.

    There are lots of things that make our oven messy. My daughter likes to bake sweet potatoes and they always drip. When I make Shepherd’s Pie it usually drips gravy all over the oven. Sometimes I actually remember to put the baking dish on a cookie sheet to help prevent spills. A new oven would be so wonderful — ours is 35 years old!

    I always thought that “self-cleaning oven” should mean that it took care of everything–including remembering to clean it before you need to use it again….my oven mess is usually from apple strudel–it always leaks and drips off the cookie sheet onto the oven floor.

    Kelly, I’ve never cleaned my oven either. Well, it’s been cleaned once when I was still working outside the home and had a cleaning lady. But that was a long time ago and the oven has since been oozed, drizzled and dripped on many times.

    I have a few questions about this recipe… First off, in the directions for the ziti part (numbers 11, 14-15, and 17) exactly WHICH sauce are you talking about? The tomato sauce that you buy in cans or the tomato sauce that you’ve included in this recipe for the baked ziti? Is this the 4 cups of sauce that we need for the baked ziti part? And second, when exactly do you pour in the pasta? Because in number 16 you only mention pasta mixture.

      Sorry for the misunderstanding Mimi! I’ve tweaked the recipe. You can either make the sauce in the recipe or use jarred sauce – your choice – 4 cups. I’ve adjusted the recipe for cooking the ziti and when to add it into the recipe – cheers!

Thanks to this blog and links to blogs with recipes of messy meals, I want to try the Low Fat Best Baked Ziti recipe on this page and the Sunday morning candy bacon on Jennifer Rizzo’s page. I can’t wait to try them in a self-cleaning oven. To date, I am the “self” in the “self-cleaning oven” at my house.

    Since I’m realtively new to the baking scene, I haven’t had much in the way of mishaps, but I can tell you that making ice cream cupcakes can get really messy when they tip over!

    Cherry pie always seems to bubble over and make a mess, but I’m going to make it this week anyway.
