I chose this ziti from the list because it looked like it had the most ricotta-style cheese (which my kids love). It did not disappoint: easy to make and the family enjoyed. Our only changes would be to actually increase (maybe even double) the amount of pasta sauce and cheeses. . . we like it really saucy and gooey. Thank you for sharing your recipe, ambers hands!

Yummy, and filling. This was perfect for this chilly night. The cheese mix on top added a nice creamy touch.

Very good! Neither my husband or I are big fans of meatless dishes, but this was awesome!
