A warm and cheesy baked spaghetti recipe that brings comfort and joy to dinner gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s good and hot when we’re ready to bake.
  2. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside, keeping a touch of that pasta water for later.
  3. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  5. Stir in the marinara sauce along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes for flavors to meld.
  6. Mix the cooked spaghetti with the saucy beef mixture and fold in half of the mozzarella cheese.
  7. Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Top it off with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before serving to achieve perfect slices.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
