Do y'all ever make baked spaghetti at home?

Before layering I mix the spaghetti with the sauce as that ensures there are no dry pockets of pasta.I then layer with ricotta or cottage cheese and mozzarella..I like the meat finely minced so there are no large chunks and everyone has some meat in their serving.

When my 3 children was at home, I would double the sauce and noodles. We would have regular spaghetti then with the leftovers, I would put the baked spaghetti together then freeze it. When I had a busy day, I would pull it out of the freezer for a quick meal

I make baked spaghetti about once a month. We love it and I love the fact that it makes 3 meals for me and my husband and I always have half left to give away to one of my friends, the assistant manager at SaveALot. They’re right next door to my business. That’s where half of my baked goods go. I use ground beef (chunky like yours) and also Italian sausage. Just a pound of each. Since I work 70 hours a week I buy ragu or prego spaghetti sauce and just doctor it up a little. Your sauce looks easy enough that I will try it. Love you sweet lady. ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Every year in Nov I take my vacation to cook for a deer camp about an hour from my home. Baked spaghetti is one of the entrees I cook simply because it's delish and feeds a multitude of starving hunters. I make 2 of those 13×9×2 pans and serve green beans, salad, and rolls with it along with a dessert. If there's any left, it will be devoured the next morning. Thanks, Paula for all you do. You are truly an inspiration.

I have to say I got a kick out of this recipe. I actually over 40 years ago made a very hearty dinner very similar. I would start with 4 chicken breasts seasoned with garlic and Italian seasoning and place in oven to bake. I would then brown my ground beef and make a very similar sauce but I would add a tbsp of sugar. Boil up a large pot of rotini. Then mix the noodles with the sauce. Cut up my chicken not shred scatter on top then top with mozzarella cheddar and parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes and the becomes extremely quiet. With young children this is a wonderful peace like no other. Thank you for reminding me of those beautiful memories.

Thanks Paula!! I also make this and sometimes add mushrooms, green peppers or pepperoni....even ground sausage or ground pork. It is a hit, your right! Also, it tastes amazing to add some sour cream to the meat sauce of like a lasagna sauce, super creamy. Just YUM!!! OH, and, I agree. I actually make it ahead one day, then, refrigerate, heat it up, and eat it on the second day. Even better! Your super fan from USA now living in

Never really baked my spaghetti, but I'm up for trying it, thank you miss Paula, 👍🙏❤️😎

Baked spaghetti is one of many favorites in our house we use a bit of mushrooms in the sauce and ice in a while when we have it on hand ricotta cheese in it ... and when we want fancy we will put a layer of fresh spinach in it right top the sauce layer under the cheese. Mmmmm my mouth waters at the recall. Thanks Paula, I love being in your kitchen with you. It’s wonderful what you do.

I make too much sauce, so I freeze it. I am going to have to make it. I love spaghetti bake, it is a nice change and so good with a nice salad, and of course garlic bread. Love you, Paula.

Paula! Good Morning! I have never made baked spaghetti, and I like the way you make yours. I also do all of my tomato cooking with crushed ( and stewed!) Sending love from family to Yours!

[simplytee]

I love the idea of BAKED spaghetti! 🍝💜😋 The dance at the end seals the deal on YUMMY! 😁💃

[wildamericanboy]

I love baked spaghetti in restaurants, so I'll try this @ home. Thanks, Paula Deen!

[mickid]

I made this for dinner tonight. I used angle hair spaghetti like you said and I also left the beef in larger chunks like you recommended. This was so good. I didn’t have cheddar, so we used mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. We loved this dish. Thanks for sharing

[OfficialBlondeAndBoujee]

Hey Paula! I look forward to your videos being posted every morning! I have loved watching you for years! I just love that sweet southern accent & your energy is so amazing! Sending love ❤️ from Indianapolis, Indiana!

[danielintheantipodes]

I made something similar the other day with ravioli. Delicious!

[charitys.]

Instead of spraying the noodles, you can put just a little olive 🫒 oil in the pot when they're boiling. 👌

[donnakerstiens]

This is one of my all time favorite recipes of yours! Been making it for years!❤️
