That sounds like a delicious and satisfying meal! It's great that your kid enjoyed it so much that they went back for seconds (or even thirds!). That's always a good sign that you've hit on a recipe that's a winner.

Chicken sausage is a fantastic addition to baked ziti, adding a nice smokiness and flavor contrast to the classic pasta dish. Did you use a specific type of chicken sausage or just whatever was on hand? And how did you find the kid's reaction to the meal - were they enthusiastic about trying it or did they require some convincing?
