Baked Spaghetti
 
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (24 ounce) jars meatless spaghetti sauce or 1 (45 ounce) jar
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 5 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups Galbani ricotta cheese
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Instructions
  1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente according to package directions. Drain.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the beef, onion & garlic until meat is brown and onions are soft (about 7 minutes). Drain off fat. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt.
  4. Whisk eggs, parmesan cheese and butter in a large bowl. Add the cooked spaghetti to the egg mixture and toss to coat. Place half of the spaghetti mixture into baking dish. Top with half of the ricotta cheese, meat sauce & mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Cover with NONSTICK aluminum foil.
  5. Bake in oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes more.
Notes
If you don't use nonstick aluminum foil, the cheese will stick to the top. If you don't have any, you could vent it a little so it's not touching the cheese. I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles and it tasted great.
