LOW FAT ITALIAN PASTA BAKE
I decided to make a low fat version of Baked Ziti the other night. I wanted to work with what I had on hand and a few things I had picked up at the store. This was a huge success! I call it Italian Pasta Bake because I didn't have many Ziti noodles in the pantry, but mostly because someone in the family thinks they don't like...
