A comforting and cheesy baked pasta dish that's easy to prepare and perfect for family dinners.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, beef broth, and half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated for a smooth sauce.
Cook the ziti pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Do not overcook the pasta as it will continue to cook in the oven.
Add the cooked pasta to the mixing bowl and stir to coat evenly with the sauce.
Ensure all pasta is well coated for even flavor.
Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheeses on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly for a golden finish.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Allowing the dish to cool slightly makes it easier to serve.
