Not your average Baked Ziti


1 lb. ziti noodles
1 28 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes (remove and discard 1/4 cup juice)
2-3 cups red bell pepper finely sliced
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz. shredded jack cheese
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 cup half n' half

Boil noodles and rinse with cold water. Add bell peppers, cheddar cheese and jack cheese. Remove 1/4 cup of juice from the tomatoes and discard. Add the can of tomatoes and salt and pepper. Stir well.

Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Add ziti. Pour half n' half evenly over ziti. Cover with foil and bake for 20 -25 minutes at 350. Uncover and bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted. Top with seasoned breadcrumbs in the last few minutes if desired.
