Let the pasta rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. (5-10 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat sauce.
You can substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for the ground beef.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Fontina, Gruyere, or Asiago would all be delicious additions.
If you want a crispier top, broil the pasta for the last few minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
