Add the parsley and stir until well combined. Remove the pan from the heat.
Add the cooked and drained pasta into the pan, then toss until well coated by the delicious sauce.
Transfer the mixture to an 8×8-inch casserole dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the cheese mixture on top.
Place it in the preheated oven and bake the casserole for about 30 minutes.
