Why is it called baked ziti?

Hey foodies, ever wonder why we call it "baked ziti"? Clearly, ziti noodles are the star, but the "baked" part kind of intrigues me. This dish gets its name from how we prepare it oven-baked to melt cheese and marry flavors. Still, I'm curious about origins or if there's more to the story. Any thoughts?

I reckon "baked ziti" probably earned its name because, well, it's baked, and it prominently features ziti noodles. That's my best guess, anyway!

It's called "baked" ziti because you bake it after it's cooked! Easy, right? It's like making a delicious pasta casserole!

Baked ziti is just lasagna's cooler cousin who doesn't need layers to be awesome.
