Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Gently fold the cooked noodles into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and olive oil until the crumbs are lightly moistened. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the noodles.
