Review:  Easy and tasty.  I did not use the ground beef but it would be good either way.  I did not have fresh basil but mixed dried Italian herbs into the spaghetti sauce and this added some extra flavor.  Still looking for the BEST, easy baked ziti recipe.  This was very good but nothing special.
