However, for today's recipe I chose a twist on one of my favorites-Baked Ziti. I've made baked ziti with roasted vegetables, baked ziti with different cheeses, and baked ziti with meat. This version has both meat and vegetables in it and uses Muir Glen tomatoes and tomato sauce. Since I just went to Pittsburgh and bought several cans of each, this was the perfect recipe.
I really enjoyed the vegetables and lean ground beef in this ziti. I also liked that the sauce was made from the Muir Glen tomatoes and tomato sauce. It was simple and delicious. I used a few spices to give it a little more flavor then topped it with a combination of Italian cheeses. I liked that it was over loaded with sauce like so many baked pastas are. We both thought this was a tasty creation and will definitely have it again!Muir Glen Baked Ziti with Fire Roasted Tomatoes (adapted from Muir Glen, as seen on Cooking...on the Ranch)
