Are you in the mood for a hearty, satisfying, and effortlessly delicious meal? Look no further. Our Baked Spaghetti recipe is a true classic, perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or whenever you're craving a comforting dish that practically cooks itself.
Start by boiling the spaghetti according to the package instructions. This is typically 7-9 minutes. It should be cooked until just al dente, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
While the pasta cooks, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing for 5-7 minutes, or until they're aromatic and the beef is no longer pink.
Add your favorite marinara sauce or a homemade one to the browned beef. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, then let it simmer for a few minutes to develop its flavors.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and a portion of shredded mozzarella. This mixture acts as a binder for the spaghetti.
In a greased baking dish, layer the cooked spaghetti, the egg and cheese mixture, and the meat sauce. Repeat for a delightful spaghetti layer cake. Top with more mozzarella cheese.
Bake your masterpiece in an oven preheated to 350F for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese turns golden and bubbly, and the spaghetti is tender. The kitchen fills with the aroma of baked goodness.
