BAKED SPAGHETTI

Baked Spaghetti image

I love making this recipe and people love polishing it very quickly. I like that you can make it before you need it and clean up the kitchen! Then, take it out of the frig and pop it in the oven... et voila! Great for covered dish/potluck dinners; travels well--and even yummy when reheated. Enjoy! (Recipe from ex-MIL)
