That's so funny. I was thinking the opposite!

A nice summer plate of tomato/mozz and burgers - beef, turkey/feta, veggie - with fixings. Plus some good roasted potatoes and a cucumber salad. Maybe even a Greek pasta salad for a crowd. And lemon squares or coconut cake for dessert.

Would obviously be a summer meal but I could go for that!!!

Does anyone have a good baked ziti recipe they can share? Or even just the basics. I tried to make it once and it came out a bit dry and bland.

I'm embarrassed to say I served this to my fellow Jersey Italians one day when I didn't have time to make sauce from scratch and they all raved and asked for the recipe:
