Baked Ziti
In the firehouse, you have to make plenty of food. For smaller "families", it can be reduced. But, better yet, make the recipe and freeze 1/2 for a quick meal at a later time. Just omit topping with the cheese until ready to bake!
This is a good recipe to play with. By all means, add more garlic, seasonings, sauce, and cheese to suit your tastes.
