This was delicious but I missed the fennel flavour that is present in the traditional recipe. I used fennel seed to compensate. I omitted the canned mushrooms and used fresh eggplant instead. To save time, I used pre-packaged grated "Italian blend" cheese instead of pure mozzarella.

This was really good...It is my favorite Baked Ziti recipe from this site. Although, I ran out of sauce and had to use some pre-made sauce in addition to what the recipe called for. Next time I would half the recipe, but keep the sauce the same. We enjoyed this, but it made so much we will be eating it for days!

Great recipe. Rather than make one big casserole I made 8 smaller using oven/micro dishes. Quick meals already made.- Definitely will do again.

I made this last night for dinner - awesome! I ended up adding fresh sliced mushrooms to the sausage mixture instead of using canned mushrooms, but it was still delicious! Relatively easy, a few too many dirty pans for my preference, but it was worth it. My picky toddler loved it! Thank you for the recipe!

Very Good! I cheated and used jar spaghetti sauce instead, and added the diced tomatoes with onions and garlic and added some extra garlic (fresh). My husband had 2nds, and my son enjoyed it. (He'll eat anything with pasta! Thanks for a great recipe!!

I loved the sauce! Will definitely make this again. I didn't have celery but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.

This was Excellent!!! I altered the recipe a little by using jar sauce instead of using the cans of tomatoes, and I used fresh garlic, but it was really great! We enjoyed it a lot!

yum, a nice pasta casserole, just what my hot sausage needed! i followed the suggestion from other reviewers about adding an extra cup of tomato sauce to this recipe. i also sauteed & stirred in a healthy teaspoon of real chopped garlic instead of using the powdered form. this dish makes a tasty leftover too. thanks george!

This recipie is okay. Would use more sauce and cut the bake time in half since the pasta came out crunchy. Next time I will use bottled spaghetti sauce.
