BAKED SPAGHETTI BY PAULA DEEN
This recipe is one of the better Baked Spaghetti's I've tried. I think you could easily shortcut with prepared sauce and such, but you must use angel hair pasta and Jack cheese. It makes this! **edited to add: I have tried to increase pasta per reviews, but this does not work! You come out with a dry pasta! Please make just as written and rate on the recipe as written!

SOUTHWESTERN BAKED SPAGHETTI
This is an easy, yet very tasty spaghetti casserole, which reminds me of the spaghetti they used to serve us in elementary school. I loved their spaghetti! I normally only brought my lunch, but not on spaghetti day!

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Spaghetti is the traditional choice for baked spaghetti, but you can also use other types of pasta, such as penne, ziti, or rigatoni.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta. The pasta should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes baked spaghetti special. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own sauce, be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Don't overcook the spaghetti: Once you've added the spaghetti to the sauce, be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spaghetti will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Top with cheese: Cheese is the perfect finishing touch for baked spaghetti. You can use a variety of cheeses, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, or cheddar.
- Bake until bubbly: Bake the spaghetti until it's bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Conclusion:
Baked spaghetti is a classic comfort food that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With these tips, you can make the perfect baked spaghetti that your family and friends will love.
