This was a waste of time and ingredients. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was bland.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my kids loved it. I'll probably use less cheese next time.

This was a delicious and easy weeknight meal. I didn't have any ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese and it turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of ziti, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of cheeses and the crispy breadcrumb topping was amazing.
