For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. Add a splash of dry sherry to the cheese sauce for a more sophisticated taste. Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Parmesan, for a different flavor profile. If freezing, assemble the tetrazzini but do not bake. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator before baking as directed, adding about 10-15 minutes to the baking time. Consider adding other vegetables like peas or diced carrots for added nutrients and flavor.
