Baked Ziti I

 

I have a favorite weeknight dinner that I make for my family. It's easy and delicious, which is what you need with kids running around all night! One of the things I love about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can use any kind of pasta sauce or meat to change up the flavor from time to time. With just a few minutes prep work, you'll be sitting down to an amazing home-cooked meal in no time!
