Any Pasta Lover Needs to Know How to Make This

This Baked Ziti recipe is one of my favorite Sunday family dinners. Ziti pasta is combined with a meaty homemade tomato sauce, rich ricotta, and a melty 3-cheese blend before it’s all baked in the oven. Whether it’s the kids or adults, everyone at the table usually ends up asking for a second scoop.
