5 secrets of a fragrant pasta casserole

1. Don't overcook pasta. In some recipes, housewives are advised to completely cook pasta beforehand. Do not do this - the dish will languish in the oven for at least half an hour - the pasta will turn into a sticky mass. They should be undercooked for a perfect casserole.
2. The right kind of pasta. Varieties with a ribbed surface are best suited - spirals, shells, rough horns. This texture will allow the sauce to stay on the surface and make the dish more succulent. Smooth pasta may drain the sauce to the bottom.
3. Golden crust. If you cook at the same temperature, the casserole will not crust. A simple increase in degrees will dry out the finished dish. For the cottage cheese and noodles casserole in the oven to acquire a crispy crust, keep it in the "Grill" mode for the last 5 minutes.
4. Best shape. Deep glass or ceramic forms are suitable, in which the dish will turn out to be juicy and tender. And for those who care about calorie content, you should take a closer look at silicone ones - they do not need to be lubricated before cooking.
5. Delicate and airy texture. If you overdo it with eggs and flour component, the dish will be too dense, "rubbery". For more airiness, rub the curd through a sieve. Remember that fruits and berries will add moisture to the dish, which means that the cooking time may increase.
