I took advice from other reviews and added garlic and basil to the pasta before putting in dish. I used whole grain penne instead of the ziti and reduced the amount. I added ground beef as others had but also added chopped spinach to the ricotta mixture. It was delicious and my family LOVED it. I too recommend using extra sauce. I warmed some and served it at the table so everyone could get the amount they wanted. Yummy!

This is a delicious and easy recipe, one I will be making again and again. I do have to agree with everyone who said that the recipe needs 2 jars of sauce, not one. After reading those reviews, I decided to be faithful to the recipe the first time I made it, and actually had to run out to buy another jar of sauce in the middle of cooking. I also recommend topping it with some fresh chopped basil before serving--it's a nice touch and adds some extra flavor!

With a few modifications, this recipe is perfect for a crowd! To combat potential blandness (as previous reviewers warned) I used an 8 oz can of spicy tomato sauce (RedPack brand) and an 8oz can of tomato sauce with garlic & onions. I also used spicy Italian sausage and through in a cup of fresh-chopped Basil. I also used whole wheat pasta (Barilla plus) to add to the health factor. In response to other reviews, I found neither the white wine to be overwhelming nor the flavor to be too "tomato-y". This got rave reviews at my extended family's Easter buffet dinner.

This dish was okay, a little dry though. I reccomend using 2 cups of sauce where it says 1. Also, the pasta is a little bland so i would add some salt pepper basil and garlic to it before i use it for the layers in the ziti. I will probably make this again with a few adjustments like i mentioned so it wont be as dry. It's a great recipe to build off of though.

yummy. tastes like lasagna. but i have to leave out the ricotta and egg since my husband doesn't like ricotta cheese. I did everything as suggested except instead of spreading ricotta, I sprinkled that 6 italian shredded cheese mix you get at the store over the ziti noodles. Thanks for a no-sour cream baked ziti.

What a hit this made! I made it for a family with a 1 1/2 year old toddler and a 5 day old baby girl, to help them out as they're hands are full. I made it in one of those tins so when they're done they can throw it away, and WOW!! I added basil to the ricotta mixture, and ground turkey sauteed in garlic, onions and pepper, very yummy! I couldn't use all of the pasta, however, maybe if I had a deeper dish, but I will make this for years to come, especially when I have a family of my own. Thanks a lot! Kristen Chandler, AZ

This tasted pretty good! I added half a pound of ground beef (which I cooked with half an onion and a few teaspoons of minced garlic) to the sauce. I seasoned the beef with basil, Creole seasoning, and seasoning salt. I used 1 and 3/4 cups of tomato sauce (where it said 1 cup) and instead of ricotta cheese, I used cottage cheese.

I took the suggestion from one of the reviews to add extra sauce and it was delicious. I also added 1 lb hamburg and fresh basil, oregano and garlic to the sauce mixture. Its quite a large recipe, it would be great for large families and cheap too.

I found this recipe today and made it for guests this evening as a side dish for Italian beef sandwiches. Everybody loved it! They kept telling me how great the pasta dish was! It was so easy to prepare. I am going to keep this as a permanent part of my cooking "repertoire."
