Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Line a loaf pan with foil (I like the release foil).
- In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the flour and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, or until it smells a little nutty.
- With a whisk, gradually mix in the milk. This is when you decided how much milk you think it will need.
- Bring sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, remove from the heat and add the cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Pour about 1/3 tablespoons of the sauce on the bottom of the loaf pan then top evenly with 1/3 of the pasta sauce and then the pasta itself.
- Repeat this two more times, cover the pan with more foil then bake in oven for 20-30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, slice, and serve.
- This is very good next to a italian breaded chicken breast. MMMMmmmm!

SPAGHETTI LOAF - 1935
I got this recipe from the cookbook 'Mary Dunbar's Favorite Recipes', which was published in 1935. I believe Ms. Dunbar was the spokesperson for the Jewel Tea Company, which manufactored spice products, in addition to other food items. Although I haven't yet tried this recipe, it sounds good, especially for those who don't care...

Tips:
- Use a large loaf pan to ensure the spaghetti loaf has enough room to cook evenly.
- Cook the spaghetti al dente to prevent it from becoming too mushy in the loaf.
