Substitute mostaccioli for the ziti pasta, and 1 sliced yellow squash for the red peppers or mushrooms.

When purchasing produce, the produce should feel cold to the touch and have a bright color. Refrigerate raw vegetables for best quality and to prevent spoilage prior to use.

Lots of chopping, but worth it. Simple, fresh, yummy! I followed the directions almost exactly, but I did add a little bit of garlic powder some sea salt, and some cracked pepper. I will definitely make this again.

Oops, forgot one item! I also added our own canned tomatoes to this instead of spagetti sauce.

This was good, but nothing special.

The veggies were a perfect addition to the pasta in order to avoid that heavy feeling/food coma normally with baked ziti.

Needs a little more sauce (or liquid) than the recipe calls for. I used 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, and 1 zucchini, but it's plenty of veggies. Used an Italian herb blend because no oregano on hand and used spaghetti because no ziti on hand. Turned out well though!

Wonderful! I used whole wheat pasta and added a can of diced tomatoes to the zucchini and yellow squash. Didn't have peppers on hand, but will try them next time.
