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.

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.
