  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
  5. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
