Baked ziti without the ricotta cheese. I made this one night out of what I had available, and the family thought it was fantastic!
This did not taste good. I think it was the combination of the alfredo and the spaghetti sauce. I used ground beef instead of sausage, but other reviews said they also made this switch. We did eat it and I saved the left overs to eat today for lunch, but we will definitely not make this again. My husband said..."I've never had anything like it..." and he didn't mean it in a good way.

Great recipe! Cheat, quick and delicious! I only had ground beef on hand and it was still amazing.
Easy and Delicious. I added sliced turkey pepperoni (half a bag) to the mix and it added a nice texture as well as flavor to it. Loved this!
My family enjoyed this recipe. The addition of the Alfredo sauce really gave it a different creamier taste and texture than my usual Baked Ziti. I will make it again.
For someone who works all the time- I really love easy dishes that are also good on a budget- this ziti was perfect, and it made so much! Before I baked it I devided the ziti mixture to 2 smaller casserole dishes so I could freeze one for later. Also, because I had precooked veggies from another dinner, I threw those into the dish- didn't change the flavor and my picky family ate everything!! Great recepi!
Made this last night, just as written - no changes. Used roasted garlic alfredo and a veggie-based spaghetti sauce. I found it very tasty, the boyfriend also enjoyed it, and co-workers rated it as "awesome". This was easy, quick and cost-effective!! Thanks!!
This is so easy! I cheated even more and used homemade sauce that already had lots of mild italian sausage in it. I cooked the pasta and than stirred in the jarred Alfredo sauce to coat the noodles - put half of the noodles in a greased baking dish, did a layer of sauce and then some cheese - the rest of the noodles, more sauce and cover the top with cheese. Baked covered with foil so it wouldn't dry out - remove the foil and baked for another 10 - 15 minutes. The kids loved it.

Easy weekday dinner. My family loves pasta so when I found this recipe, I knew we needed to try it. Can't praise this recipe enough for ease - few ingredients, quick prep, and great flavor. The only change made was using the mild italian sausage just to cut back on it being too spicy. I loved being able to make this and have dinner ready in under 40 minutes tops. Bonus - the leftovers are even better b/c the flavors really meld together.
So good. I make it even easier by not boiling the ziti. I just stir in the dry noodles and 1 cup of water.
This was so easy! My Daughter is a picky eater and she had 2nd servings. My whole family loved it. I did not have Ziti, so I used Penne. The spicy sausage gives it just enough kick! Def a keeper in my recipe file. Thanks for sharing, Chevyjax.
Really good! Family enjoyed very much and it was super simple to put together.
I saved this recipe few months ago...Can not stop stop saying OMG so Good. I am itailian and had my share of of baked ziti and lasagna, Thanks for Great recipe. Sending to my father and grandfather I know they're gonna love it.
Oh. My. Gosh. This is too good to be this easy. I first tried it about a month ago, and I've made it 3 times. The best and easiest meal to make in a hurry. And it makes enough for plenty of leftovers! THANK YOU!!!
very tasty!! i added 4 slices of bacon chopped up to the sausage when it was cooking, but i can tell this would be delicious without the bacon too.
This was awesome! Soooo easy and soooo tasty. I didn't change a thing. Family asked to put into regular dinner rotation. Thanks for a fast and great week night meal.
Made this for a pot luck. It was the first casserole to be gone! It was so easy to make and so good! Gave out the recipe a lot!
so good! beyond easy to throw together, we can even make this work for weeknight dinners. yum!
This is really easy and the flavor is good. I gave it 4 stars only cause it needs more meat to my family. They all liked it but they all wanted more meat. So next time I think I will use 1.5 pounds. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing.
This recipe was easy - and a huge hit with my family. I seasoned up a pound of ground beef to be like sausage added spaghetti sauce and alfredo. I put about half mixture in 9x12 pan then covered with provolone cheese(2 circles in strips) then put the rest of the mixture over the top and added mozzarella cheese to cover the top (because that is what I had on hand). The alfredo works as it gives the creamy flavor and keeps it all moist. Great shortcut!
I've made this several times and my family LOVES it! I use whole grain ziti, rigatoni, or spirals.
It is baked ziti, though I wouldn't call it Baked Ziti. It was surprisingly tasty for something so simple and quick. I have to give it 5 stars for ease of preparation and economics as well. Clean up? Minimal. I boiled the sausage before slicing and adding to the pasta because it was frozen. The casserole dish I lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
This recipe is fantastic! Spicy and creamy,so good and so easy! My family loved it. I will definitely be making it again!
Made exactly as written. So good! From kitchen to table in 30 minutes. I boiled noodles and cooked sausage at the same time. Even threw in a few garlic toasts in the oven at the same time.
I made this for my euchre club and everyone loved it. I didn't change the recipe for lack of time. Made it exactly as listed since it was so easy...and it was both easy and delicious.
yes,yes yes! immediately got put on dinner rotation after the first bite. 5 stars around the table!,
was excellent!!!!!!!! whole family liked it ... will be made again many times ... great flavor served with homemade bread.
Made dish minus the sausage and it was amazing. The sauce did it for us..the Alfredo mixed with red pizza sauce was great!
I made this with 96% ground beef and added a green pepper for some veggies. We loved it and saved on lots of those calories with the ground beef. Thanks for the great recipe!
So good, SO easy! It kind of made me mad at how long water takes to boil though, since that's like half of the prep time!
This was good! I think my sauce overwhelmed my pasta, but I like a saucy pasta so I'm happy with it.
my grandkids wont eat anything with ricotta cheese or cottage cheese....my daughter made this, & it was great! (thats a big compliment from an old italian woman!)
I make this a lot! Always tasty, quick and cheep. My family loves this pasta dish.
I added breakfast sausage and layered the dish as I would lasagna. It was great!
I made according to recipe. Awfully bland. No flavor at all. It is not something I will be making again.
Very good recipe! I subbed sweet Italian sausage. The day I made it was 90* and I didn’t want to warm up the house, so I finished on grill uncovered for 25 minutes at 350*. I used extra cheese and a pellet grill so that’s why it took longer than recipe. Very good subtle smoky flavor! Probably will make it the same way again.
Big hit with both adults and kids served with garlic bread sticks and salad. We added some leftover meatballs to make it even better.
I loved it! I was skeptical at first with combining Alfredo and marinara sauce together, but it turned out great. I did add pepper, garlic and onion powder, basil, oregano, fennel and onions. I only had Italian and sage sausage. I also had only Parmesan, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheese. Used all 3. This meal was easy to prepare, filling, and delicious. Thanks!
Used ground venison instead of sausage and still great. I've made this a couple times using ragu alfredo and pasta sauce and it's turned out well each time, also super easy to make. I'll definitely make it again
This was as easy as 1-2-3. It was a hit with my family! And, the taste was absolutely delicious. I will be making it again.
We didn't have the correct cheese but added chunks of mozzarella through the dish and topped with a little more and grated cheese. Also used ground beef as didn't have the sausage. It was delicious and we will make again. I did use ziti pasta and made another with brown rice pasta elbows and it was also good.
