Baking

  2. Top the casserole with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  5. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if using.
