This is great to prepare the night before, cover with plastic wrap, store in the frige and bake the next night after work. I don't remember where it came from and then of course it evolved as time passed. Before the computer, I didn't keep records, I kept notes, without a filing system.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe vegetables, flavorful cheese, and high-quality pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the casserole.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to the casserole. Try using a mix of different vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: Different cheeses will give the casserole a different flavor. Try using a combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
  • Top the casserole with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers: This will give the casserole a crispy, golden-brown top.
