Oxtail Baked Ziti is a rich, hearty comfort food recipe that takes classic baked pasta and elevates it with slow-braised, fall-apart tender oxtail. This dish starts with deeply seasoned oxtail cooked low and slow until the meat is rich, flavorful, and infused with savory depth. The oxtail is then folded into a robust sauce and layered with ziti pasta and melted cheese to create a baked dish that’s comforting, filling, and unforgettable.

This recipe is perfect for family dinners, special occasions, or anytime you want a pasta dish that feels indulgent and satisfying. The richness of the oxtail pairs beautifully with the pasta and cheese, creating layers of flavor that develop even more as the dish bakes. Every bite delivers tender meat, saucy pasta, and gooey cheese with balanced seasoning throughout.

Chef Kenny created this Oxtail Baked Ziti recipe to combine soulful cooking techniques with familiar comfort food. It’s bold, filling, and designed to bring people together around the table. This is the kind of baked pasta that doesn’t need sides or extras, it stands strong on its own.
