Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) rigatoni box
- 1 (16 ounce) mezzi rigatoni
- 1 (16 ounce) penne
- 1 (16 ounce) ziti pasta
- 1 (24 ounce) marinara sauce about 3 cups, jar
- 1 cup sour cream at room temperature, full-fat, 8 ounces
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, 8 ounces
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated, 2 ounces
- kosher salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
For the Garlic Breadcrumb Topping
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs seasoned
- 1 tablespoon butter melted, salted
- Pinch garlic powder
- crushed red pepper flakes optional garnish, chopped fresh parsley or basil; extra grated Parmesan cheese
- parsley
- basil
- Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish; set aside. Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling water for about 1 minute less than the package directions for al dente (about 9 minutes). Drain; return pasta to the pot.
- Stir in the marinara sauce and sour cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- In a small bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and garlic powder. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top and bubbly. If the topping starts to get too dark before the casserole is heated through, just tent the dish loosely with foil.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes, chopped fresh herbs, and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Baked pasta dishes are so convenient! Assemble the casserole up to 2 days in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, allow the dish to sit on the counter and come to room temperature for at least 30-60 minutes before baking according to the recipe instructions. If the dish is cold when it goes into the oven, you will likely need to add some extra baking time. Alternatively, you can boil, drain, and cool the pasta, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, and then just assemble the casserole right before baking.
