This weekend my friend was nice enough to take me along with her to Super Walmart (I am car-less out here). With the lower prices I figured I could afford to buy a few extra ingredients to try something new on Sunday. I've had a classic baked ziti recipe I've been dying try and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to test it out. Turns out it made a TON of food but I froze half to enjoy later. I don't love it as much as my prized rigatoni and spaghetti recipes but it's pretty darn good.
