    I make this quite often. It’s super fast to throw together and put in the oven. It is tasty and I add a bit of Italian seasoning and some extra water to the sauce. It turns out very well and keeps well in the fridge when covered tightly.

    I made this tonight with a few small additions, just because I had them and I always add extra seasoning to jar sauce. I added Italian seasoning, grated parmesan and about 4-6 ozs shredded mozzarella to the pasta\sauce mixture before pouring it in the baking dish. And I didn’t have ziti,so I used bowtie pasta. It turned out delicious! Will definitely make it again!

    Thanks, Julia!
