Baked Spaghetti

Good evening.

Tonight, I made baked spaghetti.  It is the same ingredients as the March 21st post called "Turkey Spaghetti", except I used ground chicken instead of ground turkey, but feel free to use whatever protein you want.

Follow all of the same steps except cook and drain the noodles about 2 minutes shy of being done because they will continue cooking in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Put some sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish and spread it to cover the bottom.  Then layer half of the noodles on top, layer on some additional sauce (enough to cover the noodles) and sprinkle on some shredded mozzarella. 

Repeat by adding the rest of the noodles, the rest of the sauce and some additional cheese (enough to cover the sauce). 

It's like lasagna, but with spaghetti noodles.

Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted.  Feel free to turn the broiler on to brown the the cheesy top if it isn't as brown as you'd like it to be.

Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing it up.

Serve with some garlic bread and a side salad!
