Notes
- Cook pasta to al dente (firm) as it will cook a bit more in the oven.
- If you prefer a creamier sauce, add ⅓ cup extra cream.
- Cooked meat such as rotisserie chicken, ham, or ground sausage can be added. Add any cheese you have on hand on top of this dish.
- Do not overbake or the dish can become dry.
