For a richer flavor, use homemade marinara sauce. Feel free to add vegetables like sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms to the sauce. If you don't have red wine, you can substitute with chicken broth. To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it before baking. Add about 15-20 minutes to the baking time.
