- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the 500g of pasta until it is just under al dente.

- Pour the mixture into a large baking pan (9x13), scatter the cheese over the top, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the center is hot throughout and the cheese is golden, then cool slightly before portioning into containers.
