I've never had it with sour cream before, but I usually make mine with a mixutre of 1 package softened cream cheese and 1 tub ricotta, mixed together!.
Make a traditional meat sauce with:
1 lb!. hamburger, 1/2 lb!. crumbled italian sausage (optional), small onion, chopped, 2 cans diced tomatoes, 1 jar tomato sauce (you choose), some chopped garlic (about 2 cloves), 1 T sugar, 1 tsp!. salt, red chili flakes (about 1 tsp!.), 1 T balsamic vinegar, some dried oregano and basil, dash nutmeg!.
Brown the meat with the onions, then add the rest of the ingredients!.
Don't skimp on sauce -- add more tomato sauce if there isn't enough to make a really saucy pasta!.
Cook the ziti to al dente (undercook)!.
Mix the pasta and the sauce!.

Mix 1 package softened cream cheese to 1 large tub ricotta, a little salt, some dried herbs (optional) and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup shredded parm (not the powdery kind --- you can get the nicer shredded parm in stores now)!.

In a deep baking dish, pour in some of the pasta and level!.
Put a THICK layer of the cheese mixture on top (use all of it)
Then put another layer of the rest of the pasta and level it off!.
Top with the rest of the mozzarella and some parm!.
