I have always loved a classic baked ziti and this Sausage Baked Ziti is a tasty twist. My daughter is also a big fan of it but she kept asking where was the hot dogs…. she thinks sausages are hot dogs lol. So I decided to put a small twist on my normal baked ziti and add some sausage for my daughter and we all loved it! When making any pasta dishes in my house I stick with homemade sauce, the jar stuff works if you are short on time but I love homemade so much more.
Check out these sides that go amazing with this recipe to finish up the meal!
