Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Cook pasta according to package instructions just until al dente. Toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 
  3. Add pasta, ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella, 1 cup Parmesan, and heavy cream along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper to a 9×13 baking dish or an enameled cast iron pan like this saute pan. 
  4. Mix until well combined.
  5. Pour marinara sauce over the pasta in an even layer, leaving about an inch of “crust” around the edges.
  6. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  7. Top with desired pizza toppings, just like you would top a pizza.
  8. Cover and for about 30 minutes or so.
  9. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the casserole are bubbly.
  10. Broil for 1-3 minutes to brown the cheese, then garnish with Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning if desired.
