An Easy Recipe for Baked Vegetable Ziti!
Last week I shared a recipe for Baked Ziti with Meat Sauce. Well, in this post I will be sharing another amazing ziti recipe, but this time it’s Meatless. Don’t let this meatless pasta dish fool you. It’s packed with flavorful vegetables (which you can customize), Alfredo sauce, and, of course, cheese. As many of you know, I love using frozen vegetables. For this recipe I used a combination of fresh and frozen. You can use whatever is your preference. The veggies used for this casserole were carrots, kale, and broccoli. I used what I had on hand, and you should do the same. If you have a child that HATES vegetables, use this recipe to sneak them in. Kids are usually too busy enjoying the cheese and pasta, to realize that they’re also eating vegetables (hey! I’m a mom… my son unknowingly eats veggies that he CLAIMS to hate all the time). Give this recipe a try, and tell me what you think. Just remember to use what you have, and keep it on a budget! XOXO
