Baked Spaghetti:

I am generally a pretty big fan of spaghetti as it is, but I really love this.
Just a simple twist on spaghetti, yet adding cheese always makes everything even better!
Easy to half, double and/or make-ahead, I hope you give it a try!!


1 package Spaghetti Pasta
1 & 1/2 cups of your favorite Spaghetti Sauce
1 & 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped

The pasta I like to use, cooks for 7 minutes. For this dish, I cook it for 4 minutes, so that is doesn't turn too mushy when I bake it.
So cook your pasta according to the package directions, just until it starts to bend and curl, but not cooked completely; drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
In a skillet, brown beef and onion until beef is no longer pink; drain.
In a large bowl, combine meat, onions, sauce and cheese. Mix well. Add pasta and toss to combine. Place in a greased, 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with an additional 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Serve!

Note:
-This could easily be made a meatless dish, by simply leaving out the ground beef, if you wanted.
