Recipe Notes
Tip: Stir spinach or kale, or any leftover veggies, into sauce if desired.
This is just one of many ways that you can make spaghetti. You can either make your own tomato sauce or buy the pre-made version. Sometimes I like to buy two different flavors of the pre-made pasta sauce at the store and mix them together. You also don’t want to forget the bread.
There is also another recipe that I tried called Million Dollar Spaghetti that is good and can be baked in the oven. This is a more creamier version of spaghetti that uses cream cheese in the ingredients.

Hi. You know, am always looking for a spaghetti recipe to make. This was delish. Thanks!
This recipe is so great! It’s further proof that anything that can be baked in a casserole dish SHOULD be.
Love this recipe! My husband was born in Italy and I love cooking Italian dishes, but have to admit that sometimes I fall into a cooking rut and want to try new recipes. This recipe is perfect!
You got me on the word “baked.” I love baked pasta and especially when it is boosted with freshly cut herbs. Awesome!
Baked spaghetti sounds perfect on a day like today. We normally have it the non-baked way so I am sure my family would enjoy a change up with your recipe.
I have a nice deep cast iron skillet that would be perfect to use with this recipe. I am going to have to try it out.
This recipe is right up my alley. We love pasta and baking it makes it so much tastier. Can’t wait to try!
I love the concept of the million dollar spaghetti. I cant eat meatballs anymore unless there is a way to make the meatballs out of something plant based.

Well, now I know what I’m making for dinner tonight. This is perfect for today- it should be warm and spring like but it’s feeling more like November here in CT. Spaghetti and Meatballs sounds PERFECT.
My biggest question is if the noddles harden. But otherwise, this looks so good
Baked spaghetti is one of my favorite dishes. I love anytime I can make a recipe and everything is made in one pan.
Spaghetti and meatballs are one of my favorite dishes! I love the ability to be able to bake it instead of on the stovetop
