For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses to create your own unique flavor profile. Gruyere, provolone, or even a touch of goat cheese can add a delightful twist. To prevent the macaroni from drying out during baking, you can cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil for the first 10 minutes of baking, then remove the foil to allow the top to brown. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
