Regardless of where you order you book, everyone can also get a signed book plate, essentially giving you a signed copy of the book.

My idea in creating this recipe was to utilize some of the leftovers in your fridge. Of course, the recipe below will be written from start to finish. But if you have leftover roasted, grilled or sautéd veggies in your fridge from the week, this is the most PERFECT dish. The best way to use them up – that allows you to make something “new” and fun. And obviously, something that tastes fantastic.
I want Everyday Dinners to be a weeknight resource for you. So that no matter what, even in the busiest of weeks, you’d be able to have tried and true recipes that you could fall back on. Ones that would become staples in your kitchen for years to come. Ones that would become the recipes you adapt over the years and even make your own!
That’s one of the reasons I love sharing recipes so much. The way that dishes change in everyone’s kitchen and become a part of life is amazing. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!
Giveaway!
To celebrate the almost-launch of Everyday Dinners, I’m giving away five $250 gift cards to my favorite places! You can choose a $250 gift card from Williams Sonoma, Sephora, Nordstrom or Amazon.
Of course, I would LOVE if you’d preorder a copy of Everyday Dinners too.

Burrata Baked Ziti
Burrata Baked Ziti with Extra Veg
Ingredients
- 1 pound ziti pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 bell pepper diced
- kosher salt and pepper
- ½ teaspoon basil
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 medium zucchini diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons dry red wine
- 1 (32 ounce) jar marinara sauce (I actually use the fire roasted marinara sauce in Everyday Dinners)
- ¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces freshly grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 or 2 (8-ounce) ball of burrata cheese
- fresh herbs for sprinkling like basil or parsley
Instructions
- Note: I love to use leftover roasted or grilled vegetables for this recipe, which eliminates the step of sautéing them in the skillet. You can also roast or sauté the vegetables ahead of time to save a few minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ziti until al dente, according to the package instructions.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Add in the onions, peppers and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the basil, oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Stir in the zucchini and cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in the tomato paste. Stir in the red wine.
- Pour the marinara sauce in the skillet. Stir in the parmesan and toss everything together. By now, the pasta should be finished cooking. Place it in a 9x13 baking dish. Pour the marinara sauce mixture over top. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese, tossing once or twice to stir it into the pasta.
- Break apart the balls of burrata and place them over the pasta. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is just golden and bubbly.

Hello..
Pasta is definitely the recipe that is always awesome and fast to prepare.
Cant wait to see your cookbook.
You always have amazing recipes …
Thank you

I mostly cook for one, so any weeknight recipe is likely going to last all week which means it needs to be delicious the first time and the last time. A pasta dish like this always sounds good, usually reheats well, and makes a side salad look appetizing also. Made your Cashew Chicken sheet pan dinner last night and my Mom who usually hates any sweet sauces with meat loved it and raved about the sauce. I woke up craving it for breakfast so…that will get made again. 😂
Baked quesadillas for sure! So easy and delicious! Can’t wait for the cookbook!
There are so many, but one of our unexpected favorites that should not be missed! HALLOUMI HUMMUS BOWLS, I crave them! Thank you for your recipes, humor and joy! 🤗🤗
Your maple mustard chicken tenders are a weekly dinner go-to! So excited for this new book!
It’s a tie between pasta night and taco night in my house! :)
Homemade pizza!
I love making your sticky sheet pan chicken with pineapple salsa during the week. My family loves it too! 💗
TACOS……favorite weeknight dinner
Oh gosh, so hard to pick just one favorite week night dinner! Probably breakfast for dinner. I love breakfast food for dinner even more than for breakfast…and it’s fun and easy on a weeknight!
Any kind of grain bowl is my favorite kind of weeknight meal!
Tacos!
Looks amazing. My favorite weeknight dinners are pancakes and maple syrup
Who doesn’t love baked ziti? This just really takes it up a notch. Great with the nitrate cheese.

One of my fav week night dinners is cheeseburger chopped salad.. it’s so good, so filling, and easy to make!! It’s been a weekly go to for some time!! Love it.
My favourite weeknight dinner so far has been the grilled peach pizza.
I am not from the south, peaches are expensive, and on ??? Pizza??? I was a lady with a problem and my problem was that never before had I had a pizza like that. It blew my mind and it was, admittedly, hoarded. Mine all mine.
Going to give this bake a whirl this week, it looks right down my alley.
I love sheet Pan dinners for weekdays. Easy clean up!
Pasta bakes are a favorite for sure, also tex mex casseroles.
The HSE green bean salad, usually with some garlic bread is a frequent go-to for us! Congrats on your third book launch, Jessica!
Tacos!!
Pizza!
Love any of the sheet pan dinners. New favorite is the chicken, peppers, cashews. Yum!
