The casserole was a bit dry. I think I should have added more sauce.

This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste. Next time I'll use less mozzarella.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. It worked out great!

I added some cooked sausage to the casserole and it was delicious. I also used a blend of cheeses instead of just mozzarella.
