Using a basic tomato based spaghetti meat sauce as a base with layer of spaghetti noodles & cheese, finished with a cream soup topping. Baked Spaghetti is a fantastic meal for any day, but most especially for feeding a crowd, making it perfect for potlucks, church suppers and socials. This baked spaghetti starts pretty much the same as with any spaghetti - boiling the noodles and putting together a meat sauce. Trisha Yearwood adds 1 small (2.25 ounce) can of sliced black olives drained, which I omit, along with 3 (14.5) cans of diced tomatoes with the liquid, part of which I exchange for Rotel tomatoes. Here's how to do it. Spread half of the spaghetti noodles in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking pan. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of that and repeat with another layer of noodles, sauce and cheese. I'm a big fan of baked spaghetti and this one is fantastic. ☛ Are you on Facebook?
