I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I think it could have been written more clearly.

The casserole was a bit too heavy for my liking. I think it would have been better with a lighter sauce.

This baked ziti was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or a different type of cheese.

I'm not usually a fan of baked ziti, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of spinach and mushrooms gave it a unique and delicious flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the results were amazing. The casserole had a crispy golden crust and the interior was gooey and cheesy. Definitely a keeper!
