For an extra layer of flavor, sauté a diced onion and a few cloves of minced garlic in the skillet before adding the ground beef. Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey, Italian sausage, or a plant-based meat alternative. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture for a touch of heat. For a richer flavor, use a blend of cheeses, such as mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan. To prevent the pasta from sticking together, toss it with a little olive oil after draining. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time.

Mar 25, 2024I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still delicious! I also added some mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor.
