This dish was a disappointment. The ziti was overcooked and the sauce was too runny.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I added some extra seasonings, like garlic and onion powder, and it turned out much better.

This dish is a little too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chili powder.
