Step 7

Option to thicken the remaining sauce for serving. If you choose to do this part, you must do it immediately after the baking dish comes out of the oven so that the heat can activate the cornstarch. Create a cornstarch slurry by whisking together the cornstarch and water. Then, pour the slurry into the remaining sauce and mix to combine. As it sits it will thicken.
