Please no baked ziti.  If you have to resort to a jarred sauce, ground beef, pasta all baked into a casserole, just get good takeout.  [/quote] I’m not the PP but if you’re going to turn your nose up at baked ziti then don’t come. I make a vegetarian baked ziti every other week. It’s easy and everyone in the house eats it. [/quote]

Do you at least make your own sauce?[/quote]

This is such a typical DCUM remark. [/quote]

Not really.  It is rude to have company over for dinner and put zero effort into a meal.  Jarred sauce plus pasta, and a bag of shredded cheese,  baked it the oven is a total cop out.  Just order good take you can’t cook or don’t want to be bothered. [/quote]

I don’t make baked ziti for any occasion, but I think effort is in the eye of the beholder. So many of my friends are single moms who work FT. They have limited time, energy, and incomes. Jarred sauce and bagged cheese represents a grocery trip, pasta represents trying to keep little kids away from boiling water while not overcooking. I don’t even judge an aluminum pan. Or Stouffer’s for that matter. I appreciate they wanted my company. [/quote]
