For a richer flavor, try using freshly grated Parmesan cheese along with the mozzarella.
To prevent the pasta from sticking, toss it with a little olive oil after draining.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.
For a homemade touch, use freshly made breadcrumbs. Simply pulse stale bread in a food processor until finely ground, then toss with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Consider adding some sautéed vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, to the casserole for added nutrients and flavor.
