"Great flavour. If you like baked mac and cheese with ground beef you will love this. I didn't have any tomatoe sauce on hand but did have lots of fresh tomatoes so used about 8 tomatoes and pureed them. Put the broiler on for the last few minutes to brown the cheese on top." - RKG1

    I used red peppers instead of the green and everyone loved it. Huge hit with all my roommates, it is now a regular part of our movie night get togethers!

    Very good! I never liked salt so I didn't add any salt to the recipe and still enjoyed it!

    I make it meatless, and it is delicious! Even my kids like it!

    Very good and very easy. I used hot Italian sausage, otherwise followed recipe pretty closely and it came out great.

    Great recipe. Have made it multiple times. My son particularly loves it and leaves us without any leftovers.

    I had to use different pasta, no ziti on hand, but this was still very, very good!!

    My family really loves baked pasta dishes and this was tasty as well as very easy to make, in fact so easy, that my kitchen phobic 18 year old boy now makes it!

    My family loved this dish! My dad said it was way better than the ziti you get from Fazolli's. Great choice for dinner

    Nobody in my house really likes pasta but I wanted to try something different. Everybody liked this. Great recipe

    Tastes good and is easy to make. The only comment I'd like to make is that the poster didn't mention anything about cooking the pasta first. Yes you catch it later, but simple enough to change.

    My husband loved this. He said it was better than Fazolli's baked ziti. I didn't use as much salt as the recipe called for and accidentally added twice as much oregano, but it was still great.

    I made it exactly like the recipe and it turned out great! Very satifying.
