I'm not a huge fan of pasta bakes, but this one was pretty good. The flavors were well-balanced and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

This pasta bake was a good starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more garlic and Italian seasoning, and I used a different type of cheese.
