Easy Baked Ziti image

This must be easy, since I make it almost every week. I replace regular pasta, with whole grain, such as Tinkiyada Brown Rice pasta, or Barilla plus. I used to add spinach for added nutrition, but hubby complained about having too much fiber in one dish, so I leave it out. This dish freezes very nicely, and is great for a repeat performance the following week.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my baked ziti turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used a different type of cheese and I added some vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of baked ziti, but this recipe changed my mind. The ricotta and mozzarella cheeses were so creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again!
