Baked Ziti

I can't take credit for this one at all. Gia over at A Life in Progress posted this on her blog back in September. It caught my eye then and I just had to try it. It was so good. My husband even went back for seconds. This will be on our rotation. It is quick, easy, and cheap. I had made the pasta put it all together in the baking dish and set it in the fridge until I got home from work and then threw it in the oven.
