Cheesy Spaghetti Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat and stir in spaghetti sauce.
• Drain spaghetti and place in a bowl. Add cream cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Stir until cream cheese is melted and spaghetti is thoroughly coated. Spread a small amount of meat sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking pan; put spaghetti on top and top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Crumble sausage into skillet, using a spoon to break it into small pieces. Cook until starting to brown, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes (if using), and cook another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in whole tomatoes and their juice, using a spoon to break them up. Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
• Stir in pasta and 1 cup water and return to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat, pluck out the bay leaves, and fold in about a third of the mozzarella.
• Top pasta with remaining mozzarella and dollops of ricotta. Sprinkle with Parmesan, then transfer to oven. Bake until pasta is tender when poked with a fork, and cheese is bubbly and lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes. (If you'd like a more deeply browned topping, run the pan under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes.) Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Top with basil, plenty of black pepper, and more red-pepper flakes, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish; set aside.
• Boil spaghetti noodles to al dente according to package; drain.
• While spaghetti is boiling, brown the ground beef with the onion; drain and return to skillet. Add the spaghetti sauce to the meat in the skillet.
• Add the hot cooked, drained spaghetti to the skillet; stir well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• In a saucepan, melt butter; add the flour, stirring constantly to make a roux. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk.
• Turn heat to low and stir in the parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup only of the mozzarella. stir constantly until melted and smooth.
• Pour the cheese mixture evenly over the spaghetti in the 13 x 9 dish.
• Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of parmesan cheese and then the oregano.
• Bake; uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and starting to brown on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cook spaghetti per package directions.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Season with garlic powder, onion powder and salt/pepper to taste.
• Stir in the spaghetti sauce, brown sugar and italian seasoning and heat until warm.
• Drain spaghetti and toss with the sauce.
• Mix the Mozzarella and parmesean cheeses together in a bowl.
• Place half of the spaghetti in a greased 9 X 13 inch baking dish (or you can use two 8 inch dishes). Top with half of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers.
• Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
