Method
- Start by prepping your dried pasta, olive oil, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
- Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the celery and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat up, add the baked ziti, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
- Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
- Off the heat, brighten it up with cracked black pepper and a final crack of pepper.
- Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
