Best Cheesy Baked Spaghetti Recipes

BAKED CHEESY HAM AND SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Pasta -- Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente, drain and set aside.
• Ham and Vegetables -- Now in that same large pot you cooked the pasta in, add the butter and heat to medium. Then the mushrooms, ham, onion, scallions, parsley and cook until the mushrooms and onions are soft.
• Sauce -- To the vegetables, add the flour and stir until well blended. Then the broth, sherry, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Go easy on the salt because the broth and ham are both salty. Cook and stir until the sauce mixture thickens on medium to medium high heat. Reduce to medium and add in the cream, 1/2 of the parmesan, 1/2 of the white cheddar and the peas.
• Combine and Bake -- Add the drained pasta to the vegetable and cheese sauce and toss well. Spray a casserole dish 13x9 or similar with Pam or a nonstick spray and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pasta mix into the casserole and top with the extra cheese. Bake about 30 minutes until bubbly and the cheese get nice and brown on top. Let set 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to firm up.
• This is a absolutely great casserole. I have also done this same recipe with leftover turkey or chicken and was just as good. And don't be afraid to use a sharp cheddar or even a swiss cheese as well. I just happen to like the white cheddar and parmesan best.

CHEESY BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH BOATS WITH SALAMI, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES, AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sprinkle each half of squash with 1/4 tsp. salt, then place facedown on prepared sheet. Trim 1/4" from top of garlic head to expose cloves. Place head on a sheet of foil, drizzle oil over, then wrap tightly to enclose. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake until interior of squash is fork-tender and garlic is very soft, 30-50 minutes, depending on size of squash. Let cool slightly.
• Carefully unwrap garlic. Let cool slightly, then squeeze pulp out onto a cutting board. Finely chop.
• Heat cream cheese, milk, and chopped garlic in a medium saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Using a fork, scrape squash crosswise to pull strands from shells into a large bowl; reserve shells. Toss squash with cream cheese mixture, salami, spinach, tomatoes, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, if using, and 1 cup mozzarella until combined. Stuff squash mixture back into shells and top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
• Transfer shells to oven and bake until squash mixture is bubbling and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Squash boats can be assembled (but not baked) 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill.

BAKED SPAGHETTI (CHEESY & SPICY)

Steps:

• Saute onion, peppers and garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until tender.
• Add tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, hamburger meat, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• Place 1/2 of the spaghetti in a greased 13x9x3 inch dish.
• Top with half the meat sauce mixture.
• Sprinkle with 2 cups of Fiesta Blend Cheese.
• Repeat layers.
• After second layer of cheddar cheese, sprinkle all the parmesan cheese on top.
• Mix soup with water and pour over casserole. I used my finger to spread evenly so not to disturbe the cheese.
• Sprinkle with paprika to garnish.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.
• NOTE: I believe because of all the cheese in this recipe, there is extra liquid/water after the spaghetti is cut and allowed to sit. Don't worry about it. When the remaining dish is stored, just drain off extra liquid. It does not affect the taste of the recipe.

CHEESY LAYERED BAKED SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

• At this point you can cool to room temperature then refrigerate for up to 2 days.

• In a bowl mix together the soup with milk or water, then drizzle on top of the casserole.
• Top/sprinkle with about 1/3 cup (or more or less) Parmesan cheese (the pan will be full so I advise you to place the pan on a baking sheet to catch spills).
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly (if desired sprinkle some mozza cheese on top the last 5 minutes of baking).

BAKED CHEESY BACON SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• 1. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise down the middle using a large, sturdy knife. Remove the seeds and some of the center strings.
• 2. Take one of the halves and put it cut-side-up in a close-fitting microwave dish (such as an oval casserole.) You want it to be as stable and as level as possible. If it isn't, cut a very thin strip of skin from the bottom.
• 3. Pour 1/2 cup water into the hollow of the squash itself then place the other half on top cut-side-down. Carefully place it in the microwave and cook on full power.
• 4. A small squash (under 1 1/2 lbs) will take about 11 minutes to cook. Test for doneness by squeezing the top half gently (wear an oven mitt for this!) If it's soft, it's likely to be done. Carefully remove the top half to see if the flesh has turned a rich, semi-translucent yellow (as opposed to opaque yellow-white). Drain any remaining water (there may not be any) and fluff the strands with a fork.
• 5. Place the squash, open side up on a cookie sheet. Leave the squash in the skin.Drizzle the two halves with olive oil and then sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• 6. Add the tomatoes, bacon and fresh basil into the squash, mix and top with the mozzarella cheese. Place in the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. Remove and sprinkle with Feta cheese
• 7. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving
