  • Tips for Ingredients:

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Ingredients:
  • Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.

  • Transfer to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
  • Bake:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes for a golden, crispy top.
  • Serve:
  • Serve hot with a green salad or garlic bread.
  • Garnish with parsley or extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
