Miso Baked Ziti with burnt orange

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: dried pasta, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the baked ziti, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the kosher salt along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
