What's For Dinner? Forget About It! Dinner, Soprano's Style!

After watching episode after episode of the first 4 seasons of the Soprano's, I decided to try and make a baked ziti.  I found this recipe from http://www.kraftcanada.com/ , bought all the ingredients and made it tonight.  It was awesome!  It was almost effortless but tasted so good!  Enjoy!
