Notes
Use high-quality spaghetti sauce for best flavor. Freshly shredded mozzarella melts more smoothly. Ground turkey or Italian sausage can replace beef. Add red pepper flakes for heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 325°F oven until warmed through.
