Step 3: Combine Pasta and Sauce
- Pour the cooked pasta into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cheesy sauce and gently fold until every piece of pasta is coated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 4: Add Toppings
- Transfer the cheesy pasta mixture to a greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and bacon bits.
- Add a little extra shredded cheese on top for maximum meltiness.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake the pasta for 20–25 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for an extra crispy, cheesy crust.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley for color and freshness.
- Grab a fork and dig in—messy, cheesy, and wildly delicious is guaranteed!
Tips for Extra Indulgence
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese sauce.
- Veggie boost: Mix in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted peppers.
- Protein punch: Stir in cooked shredded chicken or sausage before baking.
This dish isn’t about neat portions or tidy bites—it’s about flavor, comfort, and indulgence. Every forkful is loaded with melty cheese, savory goodness, and just the right amount of crispy topping. Perfect for sharing—or not sharing at all.
If you want, I can also create a “photo-ready version” with step-by-step images so it looks like a professional recipe blog post. It would really make it pop visually.
Do you want me to do that?
