Baked Spaghetti

Written by

A twist on the classic spaghetti recipe that makes it hard to ever eat regular spaghetti again! This casserole can easily be doubled for feeding a crowd and everyone loves it! Serve it with some garlic toast and Mama’s Salad Everyone Loves for a complete meal ready in under an hour!

Mama made this a lot for our family growing up and I’m telling you, my sisters and I can EAT! We have always had a hearty appetite. This baked spaghetti is one of my favorite dishes and is a crowd pleaser.

This is one of the first things I made when I moved out on my own. It’s so easy!

A few healthier swaps:

  • Use whole wheat spaghetti noodles or Barilla ProteinPlus Noodles.
  • Use reduced fat cream cheese and sour cream
  • Cream Cheese Mix
  • Layers!
  • Ready to bake.
