Notes

If you're missing an ingredient, you can substitute short pasta, use turkey instead of beef, or try different types of cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a splash of milk or broth when reheating to keep it creamy. For extra flavor, use freshly grated cheese for better melting. You can also stir in fresh herbs for added depth. Consider serving this dish with crusty bread or a green salad for a balanced meal. Happy cooking!
