Sausage Pepper and Onion Baked Ziti – A pasta dish that will have you thinking of a summer stroll along the boardwalk.

*When feeding a crowd: I often use the disposable aluminum foil pans (rectangle “half-size” pans which are about 9″x13″) I don’t have to worry about my dishes breaking in transport, or not getting my dishes back, at home it makes for easy clean up when having a large party. When transporting these I put two in a cardboard box, the type soda/water/ sports drinks cases come in. I’ve also found using a “workout-mat” prevents food from sliding around the back of the vehicle when transporting food items as well.

This post is long… don’t miss the rest…
