Baked spaghetti makes such a great weeknight dinner. Find your favorite jar of pasta sauce, brown some ground beef or Italian sausage and dinner is a breeze! This meal is so great for serving a larger group. Simple to transport too. Enjoy!

What Kind of Baking Dish Should I Use?

You can use a number of baking dishes for this recipe. My favorite is just your basic 9×13 inch pyrex style baking dish. I’ve seen this also done in a bundt pan and even just a nice cast iron skillet. Use whatever you enjoy!

    Do you think you could replace the regular noodles with zucchini noodles?? If so, how many zucchinis do you think one would need?
