I really enjoyed this baked ziti, it wasn't too saucy or too cheesy like others I've made in the past. I used low fat cottage cheese instead of the ricotta and only used about 1/2 cup b/c I didn't realize that's all I had. I used a can of diced tomatoes (drained) to make up for the missing cottage cheese. DH had two big servings, I will make this one again! Thank you!
