A few quick notes
1. Keep a little pasta water
Put a mug or measuring cup beside the stove before you start. Scoop out the cooking water where the method tells you to, then add it gradually when bringing the pasta and sauce together.
2. Keep the package nearby
The method uses package directions for part of the cooking. Read those before choosing your start time, especially if you have a different brand or package size.
3. Give the food its space
Arrange the food in the layer the method calls for. If you increase the portions, check the pan or basket space before cooking so you can keep that arrangement.

The last little job
Keep the last little job in mind

A little more help as you go
Get the oven ready first
Start with the oven-preheating step in the recipe. Then use the preparation steps that follow to get the food ready for the hot oven.
Set out the first ingredients
Look through the first cooking step and have its ingredients ready before you begin. It is easier to give the pan your attention when you are not still looking for the next item.
Keep an eye on the broiler finish
The broiler is a separate finishing job. Read that part before serving, get the dish ready as directed, and stay with the finish instead of treating it as another long oven step.
