To prepare, remove the film from the tray. Place the frozen pasta bake in a conventional oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is hot and bubbling. For a crispier topping, you can broil it for the last few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level before serving. This dish is intended to be heated thoroughly before consumption.
