Notes
This pasta is super easy to make! The flavor is really similar to the oven you get at restaurants that’s cooked in a giant parmesan wheel.
If you prefer the garlic flavor to be milder, add it to the baking dish in the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Cook the pasta al-dente as it will continue to cook once you've drained it and when it is stirred into the sauce.
- Make it a fully meal by stirring in cooked shredded chicken.
