THE ULTIMATE BAKED SPAGHETTI
The Ultimate Baked Spaghetti - cheesy spaghetti topped with Italian seasoned cream cheese, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese - SOOOO good! Makes a great freezer meal too! We ate this two days in a row!
I called this The Ultimate Baked Spaghetti because I combined two of my favorite baked spaghetti recipes and made one great recipe. The "ultimate" if you will. This was crazy good. I wanted to eat the whole pan! We ate this for dinner and lunch the next day. I cut the leftovers into single serving squares and froze them. I like to thaw them out when we get back from a trip for an easy dinner.
This makes a ton. It would be great for a potluck. This Ultimate Baked Spaghetti also freezes well. You could even split the recipe into two 8x8 foil pans - that is what I do since there are only two of us. Serve this with a simple salad and some garlic bread for an amazing Italian feast!
