Description

This wasn’t just a meal – it was a Sunday tradition. Grandma’s pasta al forno was always bubbling in the oven while everyone fought over who gets the crispy corner. It’s got layers of tomato sauce, gooey cheese, and pasta that soaks up every drop of flavor. No rules, just love.

Advice

Use two cheeses for that perfect stretchy top and creamy inside. And never skip the resting time – it helps the layers settle.
