Baked Spaghetti
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Baked spaghetti is a great way to impress your girlfriend. It looks like a complicated Italian meal, but in reality it's just a sneaky way to whip something up quick. And, of course, it's tasty!
Ingredients (these are vague on purpose):
Spaghetti (approx. 4 servings)
Spaghetti sauce (1-2 jars)
Shredded Cheddar and Mozarella Cheese (approx. 4 cups)
Oregano
Sliced Pepperoni (optional)
Sliced Mushrooms (optional)
Cook spaghetti as directed on package, or however you like. Heat up sauce while you're doing that, and add oregano to taste. Also dump some mushrooms and/or pepperoni in there, if you want. Pour a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of a lasagna pan. Add cooked spaghetti. Pour rest of sauce over spaghetti and cover with cheese. Place in oven at 350 until cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Let set 10 mins. before eating.
Everything is added to taste: if you like sauce, put more in. Same for cheese, oregano, etc. The absolute best way to cook this is in individual spaghetti-bake pans, but a lasagna pan is the next best alternative.
