Pam Gates of Duluth found this versatile and kid-friendly recipe several years ago and has since modified it to suit her taste. While the ziti bakes, she makes a salad and heats a loaf of Italian bread. "I have also added cheddar cheese and mushrooms, " she says. "Sometimes I divide it into two 8-inch square baking dishes, then bake one and freeze one."
