  • In a greased 9x13 inch dish, layer half of the pasta mixture, spread the cheese mixture over it, then add the remaining pasta mixture.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until golden.
  • Let the dish rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Cook pasta al dente, customize your cheese, use fresh ingredients, let the dish rest after baking, and double the recipe for gatherings.
