Many of my casserole recipes have been frowned upon by my children, but they give a cheer when they hear we're having Baked Ziti for supper. I've tried to incorporate more meatless meals into our menus. No one misses the meat in this one. Even the leftovers are well-liked.—Charity Burkholder, Pittsboro, Indiana.

My family absolutely loved this recipe!!!! And it was so easy to fix! The only change I made to this recipe was that I put it in a 9-inch baking dish; instead of, an 8-inch. I served the Baked Ziti with fried chicken tenders. Delicious!!!!

This is a great recipe--quick and easy to assemble. I made this a few days ago and everyone liked it. The only change i made was that I made my own sauce instead of using jarred sauce. Came out wonderful and the kids even reheated the leftovers later that day.

Wonderful. Defiantly a keeper. Added sausage and a pinch of red pepper flake.

Hubby and daughter are picky so I left out the onions and mushrooms and added hamburger meat. Made spaghetti noodles for hubby cause he won't eat any other noodles. Daughter and I just loved it though. I'm going to have to make it again with onions and mushrooms in it.

Simple and delicious. Our family of 7 loved it. I particularly love how healthy it is (w/fat-free cottage cheese & fat-free mozzarella). Perfect amount of food for our family.
