Ingredients Summary
Ziti pasta stuffed with a five cheese blend, coated in seasoned breadcrumbs, fried, and plated with two dipping sauces, alfredo and marinara.
Taste Profile
Crunchy outside, molten cheese inside, with the pasta giving a bit more chew than mozzarella sticks. Alfredo makes it richer, marinara makes it brighter; most people alternate.
At 760 calories for the plate it is lighter than the fried mozzarella, but the two sauces add up fast if you finish both.
Healthier alternative: Skip the alfredo ramekin and dip only in marinara to save roughly 400 calories across the plate.
“More interesting than mozzarella sticks and easier to share, since each piece is bite sized. The double sauce is the selling point.”
