Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Rotini is a great choice for baked pasta dishes because it holds its shape well and cooks evenly. Other good options include penne, macaroni, and shells.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really make your baked rotini dish shine. Choose a sauce that is rich, flavorful, and has a good consistency. Some popular options include tomato sauce, Alfredo sauce, and pesto sauce.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold its shape well in the baked dish.
- Add plenty of cheese. Cheese is a key ingredient in baked rotini dishes. It adds flavor, richness, and creaminess. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan.
- Bake the dish until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that the pasta is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
