## Good to know

### Swaps

- No ricotta? Cottage cheese works as a substitute in the cheese topping.
- No Italian sausage? Use all ground beef and add a bit more oregano and red pepper flakes for flavor.
- No chicken broth? Vegetable broth works just as well.

### Storing it

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days; the noodles keep softening as they sit. Reheat on the stove until steaming hot, adding broth if needed.

### Making it ahead

The meat sauce base can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated; add the noodles and cheese topping when reheating to serve.
