#### **Step 2: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce**
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1–2 minutes—don’t let it brown). Whisk in flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.
#### **Step 3: Mix and Layer**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and the garlic cream sauce until fully coated. Pour half the pasta into a greased 9×13 baking dish, sprinkle with half the mozzarella and cheddar, then repeat with the remaining pasta and cheese.
Top with a generous handful of Parmesan for that crispy golden crust.
#### **Step 4: Bake to Perfection**
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned on top. Broil for the last 1–2 minutes if you want extra crispiness.
#### **Step 5: Serve & Enjoy**
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired. Get ready for compliments!
