I've been serving this to the family for some time now, and I have to say, it is just wonderful. The recipe say it serves 7 people, though. There are only 4 of us, and there are never leftovers! This is also great with baby spinach and crumbled Italian sausage mixed in!

This was really good. All of my bunch ate it up. This is definitely a keeper.note: I couldn't find ziti so had to use rotini and I made it on top of the stove because I was in a real hurry. I can't wait to try it baked because I think it would be even better.
