Notes

  • Do not bake for more time as the pasta may become very hard and chewy to eat.
  • You can use either store bought pasta sauce or make your own sauce at home.
  • I liked the idea of baking in individual portions especially if your kids like pasta then its easy to serve individually.
  • Use only oven proof dish.
  • I made two layers in the baking dish but in ramekins I just added everything together and finally grated cheese on top alone.
  • I used colored bell pepper alone, you can add any veggies of your choice.
  • If you want a more spicy version add little more arrabiata sauce than the mentioned amount.
  • The cooked pasta should be juicy and not dry so add pasta sauce accordingly.
