Baked Spaghetti

Let's make baked spaghetti!





Baked Spaghetti 
Adapted from Cully's Kitchen

Ingredients
  • 1 box spaghetti
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or chicken
  • 8oz fresh button mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
  • 1 700ml jar spaghetti sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups grated cheese (I used Italiano blend)
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Boil the spaghetti according to package instructions. Make sure it's not overcooked since it's still going in the oven after it boils and will cook a bit more.
  3. What the pasta's cooking, in a pan over medium high heat, fry the beef with mushrooms, onions and garlic for about 10 minutes or until meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Stir in cinnamon, turmeric, oregano and Italian seasoning. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and taste it. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Drain the spaghetti and toss it in the sauce. Use tongs and make sure it's well mixed.
  5. Place 1/3 of the spaghetti into a glass baking dish followed by 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat 2 more times. There should be a layer of cheese on top.
  6. Bake your spaghetti for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

    Sounds delicious. I like the cinnamon in the sauce, I use it in chili sometimes for more flavor.

    I need to bake my pasta with cheese more often. The addition of cinnamon is interesting, not something I would have thought of. Could you taste it?

    Tina decided that I hadn't fulfilled the requirements of the challenge, so she excluded me from the linky party. Check out my post and see what you think! http://jennyskitchenmishmash.blogspot.com
