Baked Spaghetti

Baked Spaghetti is loaded with mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan cheeses and backed until it’s topping is golden brown and crisp.

This baked spaghetti is the ideal meal to bring to a potluck since the preparation may be done the night before and then it is cooked just before serving. The Baked Spaghetti dish is a family favorite. This dish made with spaghetti is backed in the oven until it is bubbling and hot.

Why not just prepare spaghetti the traditional way, with meat sauce, and serve it over noodles? It’s all about that layer of cheese that melts perfectly on top! If you’d like, you could top it off with some slices of fresh mozzarella instead. To create a simple Baked Spaghetti Casserole, all you need to do is prepare the meat sauce, combine it with the spaghetti, and bake the dish until it is bubbling.

The golden brown and crispiness of the cheese on top adds an incredible taste. It is important to make sure that your spaghetti is cooked to an al dente texture since the noodles will continue to cook somewhat while they are in the oven, and you do not want them to get mushy. You have complete creative control over the final flavor of the sauce thanks to the flexibility of this recipe.

If you want a stronger or milder flavor, just increase or decrease the amount of sauce in this recipe to suit your taste. Because the pasta and the sauce are already at room temperature, baking it in the oven normally takes around 25 minutes at the most. It will take a little bit longer if you prepare it ahead of time and put it in the refrigerator. Take it out of the refrigerator about half an hour before you put it in the oven, and bake it for approximately half an hour, or until it’s hot in the middle.
