Made in memory of a Zaar member whose recipes have graced our table. Each of the recipes I have made are not only winners but requested often and have been added to our family cookbook. This one is no exception - made as posted and wouldn't change a thing. Served with a green salad and some freshly baked crusty rolls - made for a wonderful evening meal.

Authentic Italian tasting dish! Like another reviewer, I eyeballed how much ziti to add to the sauce. One lb. seemed like too much macaroni--I used slightly less. I also used one lb. bulk Italian sausage and browned like hamburger--Bob Evans makes a convenient package. To my surprise, the beaten eggs were a great idea--thanks, CoolMonday. We'll make this one again!

I cooked and browned the spicy italian sausage in the oven. I used bow tie pasta, because thats all I had in the house.Rather than layer, I mixed the pasta and sauce with the mozzerella and poured it in the pan. Then I poured the beaten eggs and added the parmesean.It was a wonderful meal and such a dreary day. My husband says its a keeper. My son said it needed more sausage and cheeses. Next time, I"ll make it with 6 sausage links and another cup of mozzerella and another 1/2 c parmesean.Either way everyone was pleased with todays meal..Thank U for the recipe..

I do love pizza, especially cold for breakfast the next day.. Since I discovered Zaar, I now prepare a large family meal once a month and I enjoy saving recipes and passing them on to my daughter. Most of the dishes are from Recipezaar.. so thank you very much.
I have a good housekeeping cookbook that's about 40 years old and I love it... I have recipes I have saved over the years and have posted some of them.
My pet peeve???? hmmmm that would have to be rude or inconsiderate people. Another pet peeve is people who "tell it like it is".
