Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
For a lighter version, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. If you prefer a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef while it’s cooking. You can also incorporate vegetables like spinach or mushrooms into the casserole for added nutrition. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pasta and ensure your Alfredo sauce is gluten-free as well. Finally, if you like a crispy topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter over the cheese before baking.
