🧄 Pro Tips for Pasta Casserole Perfection
- Use enough liquid: The spaghetti needs moisture to cook—don’t skimp on the sauce + broth combo.
- Stir once halfway through baking (if you can) to prevent clumping.
- Add toppings after the pasta is mostly cooked so they stay crisp and don’t sink in.
- Let it rest 5–10 minutes before serving to set and thicken.
