Spicy Baked Pasta Dishes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Fazoli’s New Spicy Baked Ziti is a Fiery Twist on a Classic Dish

— June 16, 2020 — Lifestyle
This season, Fazoli’s is spicing things up with its new Spicy Baked Ziti with Sausage or Chicken.

Fazoli’s new Spicy Baked Ziti is made with the chain’s spicy Italian pepper sauce, which is made fresh in-house from a blend of rich marinara sauce, creamy Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, and crushed Calabrian pepper. The secret to the dish is Calabrian pepper, which is imported directly from Italy to provide customers with “the most authentic taste and flavor.” To make the Spicy Baked Ziti, this fiery sauce is paired with a blend of mozzarella and provolone cheeses, and your choice of either sliced Italian sausage or roasted chicken. The whole thing is then popped in the oven at nearly 500 degrees.
