Notes
This casserole is perfect for potlucks or casual gatherings. Feel free to substitute cheeses based on your preference—provolone or fontina are great alternatives to mozzarella. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. For a healthier version, consider turkey meatballs or adding vegetables to the marinara. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes after baking for easier serving.
