I love baked spaghetti. It's such a comfort food. I've created a version that I love, and will share it here. It's not so much a recipe - I just go by feel, so you can tinker with it at will.
Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, chopped
olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
4 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
Mild Italian Sausage
1 box spaghetti
1 jar spaghetti sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 375*. Heat olive oil in skillet. Add onions and garlic, sauté until tender. Add sausage (casings removed, if you buy that type). Meanwhile, start boiling spaghetti and cook according to instructions on box. Once sausage is partially browned, add green peppers and carrots. Continue to sauté until softened. Add mushrooms.
Drain spaghetti and return to pot, toss with jar of spaghetti sauce. Layer half in 9 x 13 pan. Put half the veggie/sausage mixture on top. Sprinkle cheeses (about 1/2 cup of each). Layer again - spaghetti, veggies, cheeses. Cover with aluminum foil (try to tent it, so that it doesn't touch the cheese on top) and bake for 30 minutes.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteBaked spaghetti is something that I've actually cooked before. :-) I like it better than regular spaghetti. This recipe sounds good.

ReplyDeleteI've never tried a baked spaghetti like that. It looks really good! I just wish I wasn't the only one in the house that likes mushrooms....
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of baked spaghetti before, your recipe looks easy and the photo delicious, a must try :-).
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorite foods. Mine is not so full of good things, I just use tomato sauce and dehydrated onions, with some grated cheese. But it certainly is comfort food.
ReplyDeleteI did tinker with it. Used fresh portobellas, and ditched the carrots.
ReplyDeleteSauce was Newmans Own Sockarooni.
Everyone seemed to like the recipe, though only two of us enjoyed the mushrooms.
We both like spaghetti and would like this recipe! I have a "Confetti Spaghetti" recipe that's really good too - and easy. I'm all about easy.
