Baked Ziti

This baked ziti recipe is a family favorite. It’s quick to make, budget friendly and gets on the dinner table in no time at all. This recipe has been around since I was knee high to a grasshopper and my mother passed it down to me. Of course, I could not leave it alone with out making a tweak or two. Sorry mom.

It’s been a while since I made baked ziti because I have been working on other new dishes. But the teens have been bugging the heck out of me to make it again. So I decided to make it and share it with all of you. As with all my recipes make it your own. Leave out pepperoni if you don’t have it. It will still taste amazing.
