• 1 teaspoon of black pepper

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Boil the pasta in salted water until it is al dente (cooked but still firm to the bite). Drain the pasta and add it to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Add the marinara sauce to the mixing bowl and toss it with the pasta until it is evenly coated.

Step 7: Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything well.

Step 8: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Add the pasta to the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9: Pour the remaining bechamel sauce over the top of the pasta. Use a spoon to spread it out evenly.

Step 10: Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the bechamel sauce.

Step 11: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake it in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 12: Remove the aluminum foil from the baking dish and continue baking the pasta for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
