How to Make Baked Spaghetti

Baked spaghetti is a different twist on traditional spaghetti and tomato sauce. It makes a wonderful, cheesy side dish that goes with just about anything.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2 lb spaghetti
• 4 qt water
• 3 to 4 Tbsp butter, melted
• 3 to 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 2 cups fresh Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1. Cook spaghetti in the water according to package directions. Spaghetti should be slightly firm not overcooked.
2. Drain the spaghetti. Return the spaghetti to the same pot while the spaghetti is still hot.
3. Pour the melted butter over the spaghetti and stir to coat.
4. Place the buttered spaghetti in a casserole dish.
5. Beat the eggs in a small bowl. Add the cornstarch, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Parmesan. Mix all ingredients together.
6. Pour the cheese sauce over the spaghetti. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 450 degrees.

Tips & Warnings

• If you like, after the baked spaghetti is done, sprinkle the top with more Parmesan cheese.
• Remember not to overcook the spaghetti. If you do, the dish will be sticky and soggy.
