I just spent 40 minutes looking for baked ziti recipes. They all had similar steps but i could tell that the flavor would be just ok. But after seeing your recipes!!!!! I know its what was missing. This looks amazing. Running to grocery store now to make this for dinner tonight. Been seeing your recipes for years. But this one made me a subscriber. Sorry i slept for so long.

[@nonyabusiness2840]

[@courtneyhamilton8276]

This was so, so, so good!!! Your tip about adding sour cream to the ricotta was genius. It added a really creamy, delicious dimension that you usually don't get in regular ricotta mixtures. Loved this so much!!!

[@adriennecaldwelldogtraining]

This sour cream addition was amazing. First time I felt that the recipe didn't need improvement. Thank you.

[@luzhernandez5321]

Sound interesting, but I'm afraid to try. Does it give it a sweet or sour taste?

[@Naymichelle76]

Maylin Mmmm! I’m going to add cream cheese next time.

[@MelissaOhh]

Mine-* ugh

[@TruthWillSetYouFree832]

This is an excellent recipe! We made it for a very special occasion without having tried it first or ever having made baked ziti before, but I cook every day and it seemed like a good recipe. We tripled the recipe and only needed about 2 tsp salt total because the parmesan was salty enough for us. That was just our preference, and I reduce salt in almost recipe. I was concerned that there wasn't going to be enough garlic flavor, but it was good (we used jarred minced)! Everyone raved about this ziti! I'm planning on sharing the recipe with some of the guests and making it again for us at home. Thank you for posting this! Edit to add: We skipped the diced tomatoes for a couple of reasons, and it was fine. We were already time-constrained and didn't want to open to giant can we had for the small amount. The sauce we used (Aldi's Priano Tomato Basil w/green label & lid) already had tomato chunks in it, so it was good. We did make the two small changes, but nothing would have changed the flavor just the saltiness, which is a personal preference and was the right choice in our case.

[@tracydanielle5253]

I made this for my mom's Birthday party yesterday it was a big hit!!!!
