A golden crust on the surface is the hallmark of perfect baked pasta. A common mistake is not broiling enough, leaving the dish pale and unappealing. For optimal results, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and breadcrumbs and grill for the last few minutes.
4. Using the wrong pan
Choosing the right pan is more important than you might think. If it's too large, the pasta will dry out; if it's too small, it risks leaking out. A medium-sized pan, lightly greased to prevent sticking, is best.5. Don't let it rest before serving
Another common mistake is to serve the pasta straight from the oven. In reality, it's better to let it rest for 10-15 minutes : this way, it compacts and is easier to cut, preserving its layers and flavors.
