• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.In a large saucepan of salted, boiling water, cook the fettuccine noodles to al dente, according to the package directions. Drain the fettuccine noodles well and transfer them to a large bowl.

• Bake the casserole until the breadcrumb topping is browned, about 25-35 minutes. Serve.
