Expert Tips

Frozen stuffed pastas, either cheese or meat-filled, are a good freezer staple. A spinach tortellini is another option to have on hand, great in this quick baked dish or in soups or main-dish salads.
Switch things up with the cheese you choose—mozzarella melts beautifully, but so do other softer Italian cheeses, like smooth Provolone (try one that’s smoked), a nutty fontina, or a pungent taleggio.
Make an easy crunchy topping to contrast the gooey casserole. Toss coarse dried bread crumbs with the grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, a dash of dried Italian herbs, and a generous grind of freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle over the casserole before baking.
