Healthier Baked Ziti I image

I love pasta but it is not always the healthiest thing to have for dinner. To make this one a little less guilty, I use turkey and add a carrot to the sauce. So tasty!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out well. The pasta was undercooked and the sauce was too thick.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it more if it had more flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. The sauce was too runny and the pasta was overcooked.
