- Bake at 200C (400F) for 25 minutes until bubbling and golden.
💡 Chef's tip
Reserve a little sauce for the top before baking so the surface pasta stays saucy instead of drying out.
Slightly undercooking the pasta before it bakes (about 2 minutes shy) keeps it from turning mushy as it finishes cooking in the sauce in the oven.
