Tonight we made baked ziti.

The kids mixed the cheese mixture. Cottage or Ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, basil, and an egg (I eyeballed everything).

Aidman added the al dente ziti to the pan.

Lyssy added the cheese mix.

Aidman added the cooked Italian sausage.

Lyssy added the pasta sauce. I don't think there's enough flavor in the jarred sauces so I added salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, basil, and parsley to it before she dumped it in the pan.

It will be ready for the 350 degree oven after we add cheese to the top.

We baked it for about 30 minutes. YUMMY!! The kiddos devoured it!
Spooning and tonging are great for fine motor skills. Cooking is a great life skill and really boast self esteem.

I am impressed! How much pre-planning do you do? I would like to do more of this with my kids.
