Preparation

Step 1

HEAT oven to 400°F.

BAKE 25 min. or until heated through. Top with remaining mozzarella; bake, uncovered, 2 min. or until melted.

MAKE IT EASY: Spray foil with cooking spray before using to cover casserole. Place, sprayed-side down, on casserole to prevent sticking.

FREEZE AHEAD: Reserve 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Assemble recipe as directed, but do not top with the reserved mozzarella. Wrap casserole in foil; freeze.
When ready to serve, heat oven to 400°F. Unwrap casserole; cover with foil. Bake 55 min. or until heated through, removing foil after 30 min. Top with reserved mozzarella; bake 2 min. or until melted.
