Ingredients
- Baked Spaghetti
- Ingredients:
- 1- 1 1/2 cups your favorite spaghetti sauce (recipe of the one we used below)
- 2 cups cheese, divided (we’ve used mozzarella and we’ve done a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar; use what you like)
- 1 package of spaghetti noodles
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350˚.
-
Cook noodles according to package instructions, stopping a minute or two before al dente.
-
Drain the noodles and mix with the spaghetti sauce and a cup of cheese. Place into a 9×13 baking dish and top with the remaining cup of cheese.
-
Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
-
For the sauce:
-
3 tbsp olive oil
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ tsp red pepper flakes
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
-
1-2 tsp lemon juice
-
In a medium sauce pan, combine the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes and saute over medium-high heat until the garlic sizzles.
-
Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
-
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and salt.
