Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°.
Lightly spray a 2-quart casserole with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside. Over medium heat, simmer the first 5 ingredients until blended. Add the cheeses. Stir until melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
Gently mix in ziti until thoroughly coated. Transfer to prepared casserole. Bake for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Spoon sauce over pasta before serving.
