Oh yes, it is another dinner recipe using Chobani Greek Yogurt. I promise you that I am not getting compensated to write these or anything, I just really like cooking with Greek yogurt.
I am a huge fan of noodles. The only problem with me eating noodles all of the time is that I like my noodles pretty plain. Noodles and sauce. Done. Of course this leaves me with missing nutritional elements that I could be getting through adding other things into my pasta dish. I do love carbs, but I don’t love being hungry again shortly after I eat. One of the reasons why I like cooking with Greek yogurt is that it adds lots of protein to my meal – along with other nutrients. Protein is something that I know I don’t get enough of and am trying to add more of into my diet. I really enjoy eating it through Greek yogurt because it generally only enhances the flavor of the recipe, and I’m not eating a super filling, big, meaty, meal.
I naturally gravitated to the Baked Ziti on the Chobani recipes page because it seemed easy and something that I would enjoy. Noodles, duh. You can find the recipehere. (Unfortunately this recipe is no longer listed 🙁 )
It was a little more difficult to make than I anticipated, but not too hard that it stopped me from making it. It was not just putting noodles and sauce in a container, top with cheese and bake. The fact that it was a bit more involved, though, I think made it more flavorful. Adding diced tomatoes, oregano, Greek yogurt and extra garlic definitely made it feel more like a home cooked meal.
I did like it quite a bit, but I think I would add more cheese next time. I am from Wisconsin and all, so you know I love cheese. Yes, I am that stereotypical cheese loving Wisconsinite.Other than that, the dish was good. It reheats well too, so it is definitely a good candidate to make ahead and bring for lunches during the week.
Ease: B, not really anything difficult, there are just quite a few steps involved in making it.
Taste: A, solid dish. Filling, but it doesn’t weigh you down.
Would I make it again? I think so. Next time there will be more cheese added though 😉

this looks delicious! I may need to try this recipe soon!
This looks so good!
I agree that there can never be too much cheese. I always add extra 🙂
A lot of the time I try to follow the recipe amount the first time around and then add my own extra cheesy amount the next time I make it. Love cheese.
I just made baked ziti for dinner tonight! How funny. I’ll have my recipe up next week, but how interesting to make it with greek yogurt!
How funny! I’ll look for you’re recipe next week and probably try it as well. I <3 pasta bakes!!
Me too! I love it because I can make them ahead of time at night and just pop them in the oven the next day.
Mine had ground turkey and broccoli to make it a bit healthier!
Yes! And they generally make good leftovers as well!
Yes!! We need to find and more create more of these recipes!
