Easy and quick to assemble. Not sure what it was about this, but it was only ok. The red wine was a nice touch and really added a nice flavour. It seemed a bit bland and like something was missing, but I'm not sure what. -
This ziti was awesome! I added extra cheese because we love ours gooey. My family enjoyed it very much and requested it to be made again soon! Thanks for sharing! -
This was very easy to put together and was very good!!! I used penne pasta and becuase I didnt have mozzarella I used pizza cheese a combo of cheddar and mozzarella. I love the addition of the wine in this recipe just makes it much better. Thanks for posting!!!
