BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH HERB-BUTTER SAUCE
From an issue of Family Circle. What issue and what year I don't know. I replaced the thyme with parsley as I am increasingly disliking thyme as thyme goes by.

SKILLET-BAKED SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT SAUCE
Received from The Witchita Eagle via email (originally from Cook's Country). Adapted because the original recipe called for adding the uncooked spaghetti with the tomatoes & cooking till al dente. The sauce sounded especially nice & sounded like a quick but tasty dinner with a mixed salad from the garden. You'll need an oven-safe skillet for this recipe. Plastic-handled Teflon pans aren't going to work.

Steps:
- Boil water. Add spaghetti & cook until just pliable (very al dente). Drain & set aside.

- Stir in tomatoes, spaghetti, water and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, covered about 7 minutes.

Steps:

- Add beef, cook for 3 minutes, then add the wine. Reduce slightly, then add oregano, tomatoes, sundried tomatoes and tomato paste.
- Add salt & pepper to taste and bring to the boil, cover and cook for 1 - 1 ½ hours in a moderate oven. (I usually cover this with a piece of baking paper - right on the surface of the sauce).

Tips:
- Choose the right spaghetti sauce: Use a sauce that is thick and flavorful, such as a tomato sauce or a meat sauce. The sauce should not be too thin, as it will not coat the spaghetti properly.
- Cook the spaghetti al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. To achieve al dente pasta, cook it for the amount of time specified on the package, minus one minute.
- Use a large baking dish: A large baking dish will allow the spaghetti and sauce to spread out evenly and cook evenly. A 9x13-inch baking dish is a good size for this recipe.
- Bake the spaghetti sauce covered: Baking the spaghetti sauce covered will help to keep the sauce moist and prevent it from drying out. Cover the baking dish with foil before baking.
- Let the spaghetti sauce rest before serving: Let the spaghetti sauce rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Conclusion:
Baked spaghetti sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of prep time, you can have a hearty and flavorful meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give baked spaghetti sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
