I made this for Sunday dinner, but had to use Penne instead of Ziti since it's what I had on hand. This turned out to be some of the best pasta we've ever had. I think the addition of sour cream made all the difference. We'll definitely be having this again. Great recipe!!!

Tried a few different Baked Ziti recipes from the Zaar but this one is the best. My family and I love it. The sour cream and provolone cheese make it much better than the other recipes. It is the only recipe that tasted good with the ground beef in it also. It is a great recipe, Highly recommended.
