Alright, friends, let’s talk ingredients. Grab these tasty goodies and let’s get crackin’:

  • 1 pound ground beef (or your favorite meat alternative)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Let’s Cook It Up!

Time to put on your chef hat and yes, that apron you might have hiding in the closet! Here’s how to whip up this spaghetti sensation:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s about to get hot in here, so let’s be ready!
  2. Start by boiling a large pot of water. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until browned. About 5 to 7 minutes. Make sure to show it some love; it’s working hard!
  4. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef, cooking until softened. Now you’re talking!
  5. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let that aromatic mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. Your kitchen will smell incredible—consider it a bonus!
  6. In a large bowl, combine the drained spaghetti with the sauce mixture. Toss in 1 cup of mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese because, you know, cheese makes everything better!
  7. Transfer the spaghetti to a greased baking dish, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top, and maybe throw in a little more oregano for good measure.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden. Your patience will be rewarded!
  9. Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist!). Then serve it up and enjoy that deliciousness with friends or family, or keep it all to yourself—no judgment here!

Now, put on your stretchy pants, dig in, and bask in the cheesy euphoria of Easy Baked Spaghetti. Bon appétit, pasta pals!
