- Don't overcook the noodles. They should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent them from becoming mushy in the casserole.
- Season the sauce well. This is important for adding flavor to the casserole. Use a combination of Italian herbs, garlic, and salt and pepper.
- Layer the casserole carefully. Start with a layer of sauce, then add the noodles, then the cheese, and so on. This will help to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly.
