This sounds like a great recipe. I'm going to try it.
Looks yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
Hi, Diane! This one is easy. I am resolving to have cooked/frozen pasta and sausage on hand to cut preparation time.
Hi, Angela! Indeed, yummy. A big hit in my family.
Remember, Vicki ... I am a first generation Italian.
First, this is a version of our baked ziti ... and second ... many friends use this to serve left over pasta. Have a lot of spaghetti left over? Use this simple recipe. Mille graci, paesana :)
