Happy July, friends! Can you believe how quickly the summer is going already? I always feel like the 4th of July is the midway point of summer. Before you know it, it's back-to-school prep (and, in our case, BABY time!).
Though this isn't necessarily a summery recipe, it is a classic that I've been meaning to share with you for a while. Baked ziti has always been one of my favorite dishes -- I mean, can you really go wrong with noodles, sauce, and cheese all baked into gooey goodness?
What I love about this baked ziti recipe, though, is that it includes even more delicious flavor (and nutrients) with spinach and sweet Italian sausage (or hot Italian sausage, if you prefer a kick!). It has been our go-to ziti recipe for years now and is always a hit. It requires some hands-off prep time because of the homemade sauce that simmers in the crockpot for hours before you add it, but I promise it's worth it. I wish my image was prettier, but a food blogger I am not. ;) Enjoy!
This looks really delicious. I love that it has spinach in it.
ReplyDeleteI promise you won't be disappointed if you try it! I love sneaking in spinach, too. Even the kids will eat it (most of the time). ;)
DeleteThis sounds so good! I love that you have spinach and sausage in this. I feel like ZD can be such a staple!
