Cook's Tip: Recipe can be assembled in two 2 quart baking dishes. For these sizes it is easier to assemble in 2 layers and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of Mozzarella. You can freeze one dish for use at a later time. When ready to serve just Microwave on Defrost, covered with wax paper for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot.
