Baked Spaghetti

Spaghetti is the one meal you cook when you need not to touch the kitchen the next day. I’ve never cooked spaghetti and didn’t have leftovers. Like never.

This time I ventured off the beaten path that is known as lazy spaghetti, you know the routine. Boil noodles. Brown meat. Add sauce. Done.

Layered, baked spaghetti is what I call it. Went on a pinning spree….are you following me?

I digress.

On said Pinterest spree I came across this recipe for baked spaghetti and decided to give it a whirl.

I’m telling you now, this one was not really labor intensive but was comprised of more than just sauce, noodles and meat. Read, you are going to have to add these ingredients to your grocery list unless you are fancy and have ricotta and parsley chilling in your refrigerator.

 

 

I used turkey meat and you know turkey is bland so don’t be light handed with the seasoning, or you can follow the recipe. I like to remix mine.

 

 

Chop the parsley really fine and after you mix it with a little sour cream and ricotta you are ready to start with your spaghetti layers

 

 

 

One more layer then bake.

 

 

I made a mistake and didn’t get enough cheese so the pickings were slim when I got to the final layer of cheese but it turned out great…and I didn’t have to cook for THREE days!
