We call for ziti pasta in this recipe, but you could substitute rigatoni or penne pasta if you prefer. Serve this dish with a tossed green salad.

Made this with large shells and ground italian sausage...super delicious! My husband said we needed to add more of the sour cream and cheddar mixture. We had the leftovers for lunch today! I give it 4 thumbs up (2 for me and 2 for my husband).

This was a really easy meal to make. Kind of boring on the creative side for me, but a good quick meal for your family.
