One meal that my whole family loves is spaghetti. While I like spaghetti, I do think it can get a little boring after a while. Another meal that my family enjoys with a similar taste is Baked Ziti!
Baked ziti is easy to make and doesn’t take but a handful of ingredients for a big delicious meal to feed your family. Although it has spaghetti sauce, it also has Alfredo sauce which gives it a delicious flavor!
Below you will find my Easy Baked Ziti Recipe that you can also make that will be ready to eat in 30 minutes or less.
