This was super easy to make and I actually had everything in pantry and didn't have to run to store. It was very tasty for such basic ingredients.

Paula likes to bake this spaghetti in a 9" oval casserole dish.

What size casserole dish should be used?

My fiancee loved it, and he is near impossible to please. Added canned mushrooms and had to use "pizza" cheese blend because thats as close as my grocery store got. turned out great. I would give it five stars but it came out quite dry around the edges. Probably should have used like an 8X8 pan not a 9X13, but the RECIPE should say that. would (and will) make again.

I have always known how to make most of your dishes, and the reason I'm writing is because your and my cooking skills are so simular, it's scary!

Tried this recipe earlier this week and my husband LOVED it... I did substitute with shell pasta though. Two thumbs up!!!
By Tina McGriff on May 11, 2011
Baked spaghetti is one of my favorite dishes - i usually put provolone and mozzarella just on the top - and throw it under the broiler so it gets brown and bubbly - so yum!
By becky on April 13, 2011
hey Paula, This is so much better if you use shell pasta and put half in the baking dish, add the mozz, then put the other half and more mozz on top...It's yummy and I've been eating it since I was your grandson's age.

This is almost like my cousin's "Spaghetti Bake." There is one more layer in her recipe -- a bottle of Al Fredo Sauce. My granddaughter (age 10) made it this weekend at my house. It was easy and delicious. Can't go wrong with a recipe like this.
