BAKED SPAGHETTI

Baked Spaghetti image

Every time that I make this cheesy baked spaghetti, I get requests for the recipe. It puts a different spin on pasta and is great for any meal. The leftovers, if there are any, also freeze well for a quick dinner later in the week. -Ruth Koberna, Brecksville, Ohio
