Baked Ziti With Fire Roasted Tomatoes

Although I took some liberties with this recipe, I am still going to review it. I used a lb of crumbled Italian sausage instead of the ground beef, substituted basil for the oregano and used no zucchini. I also only used 8 oz of tomato sauce because of other reviews stating 15 oz was overpowering. I have to say this was absolutely wonderful!!!! I will surely make this again. Thank you so much for posting.

This was a nice change from my usual Italian dishes. My husband and I really enjoyed the addition of the zucchini...the kids, not so much. ;) The only change I made was to use a full pound of ground beef and dried oregano. Next time, I plan on using only 8 oz. of tomato sauce and not drain the tomatoes. Thanks for posting!

We really like this a lot. It was tasty, quick and easy. Everyone went back for seconds. I did feel that the tomato sauce covered up the majority of the fire roasted flavor. Next time, I will just use more fire roasted tomatoes and less tomato sauce.

Very nice casserole. Easy to fix and has everything in it, just needs some bread to complete the meal. I had to sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella-the devil made me do it. Other than that I followed the recipe. Thanks for a healthy flavorful dish. Carole in Orlando

This is a great recipe. My best friend and my wonderful boyfriend love it too. Instead of regular mozzarella I used smoked mozzarella. I also added a little basil to the tomato sauce for a little more flavor. This is a keeper!

Very good! We used shells and added green pepper, basil, and crushed red pepper. We will make this again. Thanks!

Excellent! I didn't have any tomato sauce so I tripled the canned tomatoes, used 1 lb of ground beef, increased the garlic to 6 cloves and followed the rest as stated. REALLY great! I make many ziti's and this one is really great in comparison despite how low fat it is! Thank you for posting!

This was perfect comfort food! Couldn't find roasted diced tomatoes here so used regular diced tomatoes (and did add the juice) but added some Tabasco to kick it up a notch! Thanks FloridaGrl! ;)

This dish was delicious. I used penne noodles. It's the first time I have tasted fire roasted tomatoes and I loved them. Thanks for a great recipe.

I've had this recipe for some time and was glad to find it posted here on Zaar so I could finally get around to making it!:)Wonderful quick meal that's low in fat and pretty healthy. Muir Glen makes the best tomatoes, and their fire roasted products are fantastic. Simple recipe to fix but full of flavor. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

This was really good! I made exactly as directed, including the Muir Glen brand tomatoes, but subbed a green pepper for the zucchini. I really loved the smokey taste of the tomatoes and it made the dish have that something extra. I can see making a ton of this in the crock and freezing it for quick dinners! Thanks!

Wonderful! The fire roasted tomatoes were a delicious addition- regular would be great too but the difference really comes through here in this simple dish. Loved the zuchinni in here- dh and dd ate it with no complaint- ya! As hard as I tried to ruin this dish-with help from telemarketers, surprise guests and insanely crazy dogs, it still came out beautifully. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
