Cheese: Goat cheese adds a distinct tangy flavor , if it is not available, ricotta works just fine.
Breadcrumbs: Adding breadcrumbs mixture gives the dish a nice brown color and a crisp top, you can use parmesan cheese instead.
Time: 20mins is enough time but adding another 8-10 mins gives you slightly charred and crispy pasta.
