Recipes with pasta, ziti

Made this baked beef ziti for Sean's dinner two days ago, and he absolutely enjoyed it. He said the flavor, seasonings and texture were just perfect. The creaminess and cheesiness from the ricotta and parmesan mixed with ziti were delicious. It was much easier than making lasagna, and it came out so flavorful and tasty!

Awesome, this is the best pasta I have ever had. I couldn't believe how flavorful it came out, perfectly balanced on both flavor and texture.
