Tips

Making this dish for a special occasion? Try preparing it in individual dishes: Spoon pasta mixture into 10 well-greased 8 oz (250 mL) ramekins; top each with breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 25 to 30 min. or until bubbling and lightly golden on top.

To make your own fresh whole grain breadcrumbs, pulse a few slices of whole grain artisan bread in a food processor until finely ground.
