I keep coming back to this one because it is so easy! And every time I make it I do something a little different as my family likes the sauce to be more tomato-ey than creamy. It adapts well to the switch-ups and seems to be good no matter what I do. Thanks for this versatile recipe!

i changed it around a little because my bf is picky. he hates parmesan cheese. i used chicken broth, added browned meat and fresh chopped mushrooms. i only used about 8 oz of sour cream and added about .5 cup of milk. turned out nice and creamy. for full modifications see my blog. http://terrorinthekitchen.blogspot.com/2009/06/baked-ziti.html

This is a quick, tasty and filling meal. It's great for those nights when you don't have anything planned. I love a meatless dinner sometimes and this one hit the spot. Thanks for sharing.
