Recipe Tips

If you’re using leftover pasta, toss it with a little olive oil to loosen it up before baking.
Keep an eye on the baking time—the top can brown fast, so don’t let it burn.
If you want to add more vegetables, spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini all work great.
Make ahead! Prep the dish in advance, then add the canned mackerel just before baking.

What To Serve With

To complement this baked pasta, I recommend serving it with pickled eggplant, tomato avocado salad, and daikon soup with egg.
