For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the cheese sauce. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Gruyere, fontina, or provolone would be delicious additions. To prevent the pasta from drying out during baking, you can cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil for the first 15 minutes, then remove the foil for the remaining baking time. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
