Mike's Baked Ziti
"My husband found this recipe and modified it and it is a big favorite at home and an easy dish to make for work pot luck meals -- big raves! We have substituted chicken or sausage for the ground beef -- all three are really good!"

I reduced this recipe by half, and only used 1/2 of a 32 oz. jar of roasted garlic and herb sauce, which was perfect! I did follow as written, (although I forgot the basil while taking the photo) and we really enjoyed the dish. I will make it again, for a pretty quick week-night pasta meal. Thanks for sharing, Cheryl P.
