This is an amazing copycat recipe of Olive Garden Five Cheese Ziti al Forno. It’s made with marinara, Alfredo, ricotta, Fontina, and Ziti. This is baked to perfection topped with crispy panko topping. I love serving this to crowds as it is incredibly easy and no-hassle to make. My favourite potluck dish and go-to.
If you want a hassle-free dish that sure to impress the crowd, this Ziti is a must! The additional cheese easily makes this an extravagant recipe. You can easily throw this together using just a few simple ingredients in no more than one hour! This version is not your traditional Ziti as it is made with marinara sauce with mozzarella and ricotta cheese. You’ll think at first that this is muddled because of the two sauces and five kinds of cheese, but this Ziti turned out super awesome! You can even use the same two sauces to make a simple spaghetti.
