Boil the noodles until tender. Depending on how thick the noodles are, you may need to boil them from anywhere from 5 minutes to 12. Read the instructions on your noodle package to determine the correct time.5. Test to see whether the noodles are done.his helps flavor the noodles and helps the water boil at a higher temperature, reducing the cooking time. 3. Place the noodles in the boiling water. If you have long, thin noodles, like spaghetti, you might need to break them in half to fit them all in the pot.
Well since the noodles are already cook and you're just heating the sauce and melting the cheese I would bake @ 350 for 30-35 minutes and wait til the cheese is bubbly I only partially cook the noodles, and let it cook the rest of the way in the sauce to let it absorb as much sauce as possible. I do it on 425, covered, to basically continue cooking the noodles, for another 10 minutes. Then I uncover, sprinkle with cheese and bake for another 3-4 minutes. I think if you thoroughly boil the pasta first, and then let it sit in sauce for another 30 minutes, it will be WAY overcooked. I boil the noodles for like 5 minutes -- so a little harder than al dente. Then I bake it at 350 for about 30 minutes. After about 20 minutes, I add the cheese and bake the remaining 10 minutes. (Of course, sometimes it's more like 35-40 but that's because I usually have chicken breasts in there that need a couple of more minutes to get rid of the pink!) Without the chicken, you shouldn't need more than 30 minutes.
