For an extra layer of flavor, sauté a clove or two of minced garlic with the onion. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for the carrot. If you don't have provolone, you can use more mozzarella or another type of melting cheese. To prevent the pasta from drying out, you can cover the baking dish with foil during the first 20 minutes of baking, then remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to brown.
