[@user-lf4bl4cm1i]

[@arleencheetham2611]

I have followed you for a long time with the Ninja and you made my wish come through. The combi is such a learning experience that we now have the best teacher to follow. Please continue giving us videos on this amazing appliance.

[@williamsmith2771]

I, like many others, am thrilled to see you using the Combi. I hope we will see more recipes from you. Do you have a Facebook group for it?

Thank you, Louise) You as usually very warm and realistic cooker, all good explained, all main points that interest people who like to eat good tasty foods and use well good devices))

[@reniwick]

I love this video and all of your videos! I just got my Ninja Combi about 3 weeks ago and I'm still learning how to use it, so videos like this is so great!😍

[@lindagray1144]

This looks absolutely delicious! Can't wait for your review/instructions on using this new appliance.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Coming soon!

[@Carrick1]

[@Keni-V27]

Louise, this looks absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, I don't have this piece of equipment, yet! But I am hoping I will get it for Christmas. You are so cute when you taste test your finished recipe lol, I always say, oh my gosh it's so good, lol. Thank you so much for sharing the Ninja Combi and the recipe.

[@beverlyplotner3278]

Thank you for this. Not only am I going to try this recipe the way you explained everything you answered so many questions!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I’m so glad! I hope you love it!

[@golferchris4]

I can't wait to see more Ninja Combi recipes! Keep up the fantastic work. Love your channel and your web site.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much!

[@marymasiakowski5042]

Thank you for showing Combi recipes. It's definitely number one on my short list. I can't wait to get mine.

[@bradley7506]

Another fabulous meal for the Combi which I will be trying. Thank you!

[@garfeeld77]

I love your videos so much. I bought the foodi because of you. I bought the combi on my own and liked it. Please make more combi recipes. Please get the larger combi accessory dutch oven and glass lid. I bet you could work wonders with it!!

[@GinnyShook]

I just got my Combi yesterday and am going to make this recipe first thing! Great channel.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thanks so much and I hope you love the recipe and your new Combi!

[@octobergal2904]

I am a new member and a new owner of the Ninja Combi. So happy I found your channel. The Combi is a little difficult to learn but you made it seem easy. Please bring more shows using the Combi.🌼🌸🌺

[@roseandtraincottage]

Oh my goodness! I am making this ziti dish! Thank you!

[@jameswarner5878]

Legend says there's a two-time personal chef that knows how to make the best Italian cheese blend. If you know you know.

[@brianb.7435]

Your commentory as you cook is excellent. So clear and easy to follow. Thanks for posting.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much!

[@gigilepore9616]

Love this!!! Looks and sounds delicious. I don't have the Combi so I'm going to try it in the Foodi. We already love the lasagna in the foodi so I'm sure this will be great also...

[@BillMitchell-q4i]

Will make this week. I love the Combi. Thanks

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@BertaS13]

Been looking for recipes to use my new combi. Very excited about this one. Thank you!

[@leadfoot1229]

Love your recipes, don't have the Combi because I have no more counter space. My house looks like a memorial to Ninja. I will get this one because I like the size and shape of the pan. I do have the speedi and the XL oven and 2 Ol 701'S. So I will be trying this. I am not a big fan of ricotta whenever I made lasagna I would just use fatter slices of mozzerella layered, but I will try it your way since it mixes in. You and Jeff have a wonderful week can't wait till next time. ❤

[@kinglord5429]

You want to make a easy lasagna use ravioli shells since they are pre stuffed. You layer them and put your meat cheese and sauce in between

[@kryki_cha6206]

Looks amazing!!! Thank you for your very hard work!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much!

[@franniemorris-caines887]

Oh! that looks so delicious… I was enjoying watching you cook then you added the tomato sauce 😢 sadly I have a rare allergy to tomatoes. I shall have look at an alternative sauce.

[@averyvaliant]

Ohhh my, not heard of baked Ziti before, looks delicious!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

It's an Italian-American dish. Super easy to make and sort of like lasagna. It's really good!

[@averyvaliant]

@@TheSaltedPepper Ah very nice, drooling watching your video...as per usual haha. It reminds me of the "lazy man's lasagna" recipe I followed here on YT, but yours is much better, as always! :)

[@averyvaliant]

@@TheSaltedPepper Oh I Was going to say something else when you mentioned lasagna. One thing I did discover is the Ninja loaf tins make great portion sized lasagnas! If you buy the pre cut/made pasta sheets, they fit perfectly in the tins. I have 4 tins and cook in all 4 at once, then freeze 3 of them.

[@denisepilling173]

That’s a great tip 😊

[@MrsBrit1]

Yum I need to make some ziti soon.

[@JS-vd3oh]

I just discovered you - love you and how you explain the Combi. I have the Possible Cooker Pro and going to try your recipe in this tomorrow. 😊 fingers crossed it comes out

[@rosemarycarden175]

Baked zitiooks so good i can actually smell it 😂 Thank you so much for all your scrumptious recipes ❤ You're 🎉a wonderful cook😂😊

[@gregwhiteuk]

Thank you for this great recipe. I have just bought the Ninja Combi and this was the first meal I cooked for my family. It was delicious and very tasty. Recommend. However, the next time I cook this meal I would just lower the temperature to probably about 180c as the base was just starting to burn still very nice though.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! As far as the temperature goes and the slight burning on the bottom, I don't think decreasing your temperature is going to help with the bottom burning because the set temperature is only for when upper heating element kicks on, not the lower one. What I would try instead is to add an extra 1/2 cup of broth which will provide a bit more liquid for steaming and hopefully avoid that slight burning on the bottom.

[@gregwhiteuk]

@ will do and thank you for your quick reply 🥘

[@leeannguynn]

Good Morning! Thanks for this!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Good morning!

[@Wish.n.Desire]

Erstmal, ein tolles Video zum Ninja Combi... Aber ich habe schon viele Kochvideos in Deutschland gesehen, und noch nie in meinem Leben 😆 habe ich solche Mengen an Käse gesehen die verarbeitet wurden. Da hätte auch keinen Unterschied mehr gemacht wenn du das Fleisch mit Öl angebraten hättest. Aber trotzdem ein sehr schönes Video und sieht auch sehr lecker aus. Man bekommt direkt Hunger 😊... ❤

[@GryphonDes]

Such a fun recipe !

[@debrafazzi5382]

Can you replace a convection toaster oven, use the toaster alot? Just love this appliance, but have limited counter space . Love this recipe 🎉🎉🎉

[@sharonmacintyrebarrett8572]

I will be darned I got those noodles about three weeks ago. I thought they were so cool looking, I didn't know they were Ziti noodles.

[@nerdy3740]

Thank you 🙏

[@pamelaking9715]

Enjoying your channel❤

[@maryannaquilino3443]

I just bought the combi, so I'm very glad you have videos with it, as I love your videos & recipes. Have you ever tried to do a greek pasticcio in the combi? I'd love to be able to do that in the combi.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I had to look that up and it sounds amazing! I'll have to work on it!

[@cherylwin9364]

DELICIOUS,YUMMY AND EASY PEASY 😇👍🏾

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Hope you enjoy them!

[@gillianbc]

That's what I like to see - a good layer of grated cheese on top. Improves most meals.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yes indeed!

[@shellylynn3063]

Thank you!!! Just bought mine from Kohl’s and so excited to try it! 😅 as if I need another gadget. All mine are Ninjas. 😅Wait until my hubby finds out haha

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I hope you love the Combi!

[@jacquelinemassinello3451]

Looks delicious Louise !! 😊

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you 😋

[@Lmartin253]

Hello. I tried to recipe, but I halved it. It was delicious but a little dry. For the leftovers in your opinion should I mix in a little more beef broth or marinara before I heat it up again the next day?

[@jeantemplemeyer366]

Can I make this in my ninja foodie 108 xl? Your recipes are yummie!

[@AngelaM-y4e]

Hello, i have another question, can you put this all together and freeze it and cook it that way?

[@kathybyrd9654]

I have also added the Combi to my ninja kitchen collection. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I have a question though. Can we use the same recipes in the combi we use in the Foodi except for the ones that call for pressure cooking? Are you going to add the Combi to your cooking course or create a new one perhaps?

[@Lmartin253]

Looks delicious! Since I have so many Ninja appliances, even though this one looks really nice, can you do the same recipe in the ninja foodie pressure cooker steam fryer with Smart lid? Either in the inner pot or in a Daddio pan on the rack?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yep! Just do it right in the inner pot and use steam bake. Everything else should stay the same. Please let me know if you try it!

[@neilennis357]

Do you place foil over the top of the inner pot?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

@@neilennis357 No, you don't have to in the Ninja Foodi or in the Ninja Speedi.

[@AngelaM-y4e]

Hello, i was wondering if after browning the amount of meat you want to use, like for a single person or smaller family, can you put all the ingredients together in a smaller casserole dish and place it inside the dish you used and cook it that way? Thank you have a wonderful day!

[@edlaskojr]

Great looking meal and so easy! What’s that gadget you used to break up the meat. I want one of those! Love watching your channel. I have a Foodi but thinking about getting a Combi. I’m a widower and I think it would be great for cooking meals for myself.

[@kinglord5429]

Wondering either use that or ninja dual oven to cook a Angus prime rib for holidays. The beef cost $119 for 4 lbs so little scared

[@TheSaltedPepper]

They are expensive so I understand! Either will work fine though. I really like the high-temperature roasting method followed by letting it sit in the oven/appliance with it off, and the door closed to let the residual heat finish cooking it.

[@kinglord5429]

Mine came with the casserole pan which is deeper

[@kinglord5429]

And it has a glass lid

[@TheSaltedPepper]

@@kinglord5429 I wouldn't use the lid with a prime rib.

[@PamDaniel8695]

Will it work to cut recipe ingredients in half?

[@double_joseph327]

Anyone figure out how to clean the inside of the combi? I’ve been using mine now for 5 months straight. I love the thing but it looks like a bomb went off inside it lol

[@kinglord5429]

The big difference between this and Speedi besides the size is the pan. Speedi had holes so hot air and steam passed through. Combi pan is sold so top is more like a toaster oven while bottom kind of trapes the moisture under top pan. Physic of cooking is different

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The Combi has vents to release steam and hot air just like the Speedi, so it is not exactly like a toaster oven.

[@IanMatthias-e9k]

Fabulous, keep the combi recipes coming. Just bought one. Love your stuff watching from the UK we have no one like you over the pond x

[@kathyhanusa8956]

Oh my, one of my favorite foods and so good when served with garlic bread. I have a question Louise, I don't care for ricotta cheese, do you have a suggestions for just using shredded cheese?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I wouldn't put the shredded cheese directly into the dish until after the steam part is done and you put on top because it will most likely become a gluey mess. People have subbed in either cottage cheese or even cream cheese in different versions of baked ziti, but I haven't personally tried it.

[@kathyhanusa8956]

@@TheSaltedPepper Thank you 🥰

[@mjam631]

Seems like a lot more work than I am used to with my dump and bake recipe that comes out perfect every time! All I have to clean is one pot. Ziti cooks in aluminum pan in the oven and I don't have to clean the oven. If you're interested, let me know. I'll send it to you. You forgot to mention the "real estate" of the unit or the cost.

[@judithsloan-price8238]

I see CLICK FOR RECIPE & DETAILS but do not see where the recipe is written out. Is that available or must I copy and paste from the transcript? Thank you!

[@Lmartin253]

I don’t see the recipe either. Is it gonna be up later today?

@@TheSaltedPepper thanks Ive been watching for about a year. Interesting device.

[@kokkiem]

Do you believe that the Ninja Combi replaces a microwave oven? I'm not happy with my microwave oven and I own a very outdated, much used airfryer. Will the Ninja combi do the job?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The combi doesn't function like a microwave, but it really depends on what you use the microwave for. I rarely use my microwave and find that reheating in the Combi is wonderful. The air fry function also works great.

[@WaynoGur]

I'm Italian descent (Sicily). We never ever made baked ziti.😂

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I said it is American Italian, definitely not Italian. Perhaps I should have just said American. LOL

[@RenaKatinas]

@waynogur You don’t have ownership on pasta recipes, so who really cares if you’ve never ever made baked ziti.

[@ephraimantepara]

Why do people from the USA add 7,000 lbs of cheese to "italian" food? They need to come to Italy.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Nothing about this recipe is authentic Italian, it’s an American pasta dish and we love our cheese! 😁

[@ephraimantepara]
