Baked pasta is my guilty pleasure. It's easier and quicker than making Lasagna or Cannelloni, but it's 100% just as satisfying. Every spoonful is full of carbs, veggies, meat, sauce, and melted cheese goodness. What's not to love?
Another great thing about pasta bakes is that they can easily be an easy weeknight dinner just as much as a fancy main course for a Holiday feast to feed a crowd.

FAQ & Tips about Baked Pasta Recipes
It depends on the recipe and the type of pasta used. In general, it is recommended to parboil the pasta to a maximum of half of its normal cooking time. This way you'll shorten the time in the oven and you'll surely have perfectly cooked baked pasta.
Any pasta shape can be used for a pasta bake! That's the beauty of it. Penne, Spaghetti, Ziti, whatever you have available. You can even mix and match different pasta shapes if you'd like.
Yes, you absolutely can prepare a pasta bake the day before. Though, I recommend that you only assemble the baking dish the day before and do the final baking in the oven only before serving. This way you'll have a perfectly cooked pasta with melted cheese and a crunchy crust when you bring it to the table.
