For a richer flavor, use a homemade spaghetti sauce. Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or spinach. To make ahead, assemble the dish (without the cheese) and refrigerate. Add the cheese and bake just before serving, adding an extra 10 minutes to the baking time if needed.
