Do y'all ever make baked spaghetti at home?

[@morgancalvi6675]

...never heard of it Not sure there isn't MSG in the seasoned salt, but baked is so much healthier than deep fried.

[@rickbaker4339]

I make a similar version with cream cheese! So decadent!!!

[@suzannetaylor6285]

This is in my rotation often… a family favorite for sure!!

[@suzannetaylor6285]

@@morgancalvi6675 there’s not, but MSG makes everything even more delicious. I add it in almost everything

[@suzannetaylor6285]

My biggest struggle has always been the Angel Hair sticking together… I never would’ve thought to spray it!! Thanks 😊

[@lpeper1964]

Before layering I mix the spaghetti with the sauce as that ensures there are no dry pockets of pasta.I then layer with ricotta or cottage cheese and mozzarella..I like the meat finely minced so there are no large chunks and everyone has some meat in their serving.

[@rufinacaldwell3024]

The sauce will cover w/o mixing

[@peggyshook6746]

When my 3 children was at home, I would double the sauce and noodles. We would have regular spaghetti then with the leftovers, I would put the baked spaghetti together then freeze it. When I had a busy day, I would pull it out of the freezer for a quick meal

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

How long do you bake it for once pulling out of the freezer? And at what oven temp?

[@ladysmith3578]

I make baked spaghetti about once a month. We love it and I love the fact that it makes 3 meals for me and my husband and I always have half left to give away to one of my friends, the assistant manager at SaveALot. They’re right next door to my business. That’s where half of my baked goods go. I use ground beef (chunky like yours) and also Italian sausage. Just a pound of each. Since I work 70 hours a week I buy ragu or prego spaghetti sauce and just doctor it up a little. Your sauce looks easy enough that I will try it. Love you sweet lady. ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Hi Roberta, do you know if you can freeze it and then bake later? I think this would make a great freezer meal.

[@ladysmith3578]

@@RedRoseSeptember22 You can bake it, let it cool and then freeze it for later. I’ve done that. But honestly, since everything is cooked in it I’m sure you can just assemble it, cover it with foil and freeze for 2-3 months. Once it’s frozen if you have a vacuum sealer you could vac seal it and keep it for a year or more. I vac seal all of my amish bread and it keeps over two years.

[@bamagirl6403]

Looks delicious!! Never made baked spaghetti but I'm going to try that recipe Paula. Thanks for the recipe

[@vichellerenae8639]

Thanks Paula!! I also make this and sometimes add mushrooms, green peppers or pepperoni....even ground sausage or ground pork. It is a hit, your right! Also, it tastes amazing to add some sour cream to the meat sauce too.....kind of like a lasagna sauce, super creamy. Just YUM!!! OH, and, I agree. I actually make it ahead one day, then, refrigerate, heat it up, and eat it on the second day. Even better! Your super fan from USA now living in Indonesia......

[@sherryrethwisch9589]

Wow, love your recipe even better!!!!

[@christinamiller1323]

Eating comfort foods especially now with all that is happening Worldwide so important for one's psyche! The baked Spaghetti looks delicious! Enjoy a safe day, Paula...

Never really baked my spaghetti, but I'm up for trying it, thank you miss Paula, 👍🙏❤️😎

Hey Paula! I look forward to your videos being posted every morning! I have loved watching you for years! I just love that sweet southern accent & your energy is so amazing! Sending love ❤️ from Indianapolis, Indiana!

[@donnakerstiens9899]

This is one of my all time favorite recipes of yours! Been making it for years!❤️

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I made something similar the other day with ravioli. Delicious!

[@vbo9872]

I've done that as well!

[@robingastonia9192]

I make too much sauce, so I freeze it. I am going to have to make it. I love spaghetti bake, it is a nice change and so good with a nice salad, and of course garlic bread. Love you, Paula.

[@simplytee123]

I love the idea of BAKED spaghetti! 🍝💜😋 The dance at the end seals the deal on YUMMY! 😁💃

Gotta start my morning off with something delicious coming from that kitchen of yours. Along with that smile🥰👍❤️

[@kraigtaylor8777]

[@CrystalSaysSo]

Paula! Good Morning! I have never made baked spaghetti, and I like the way you make yours. I also do all of my tomato cooking with crushed ( and stewed!) Sending love from family to Yours!

[@reneewilliams1810]

Baked spaghetti is one of many favorites in our house we use a bit of mushrooms in the sauce and ice in a while when we have it on hand ricotta cheese in it ... and when we want fancy we will put a layer of fresh spinach in it right top the sauce layer under the cheese. Mmmmm my mouth waters at the recall. Thanks Paula, I love being in your kitchen with you. It’s wonderful what you do.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

YUMMY!!! Only thing missing now is garlic bread and salad!!!

[@maryboyle5494]

I have never made baked spaghetti & needed this recipe! Thanks so much. Love you Paula-your energy reminds us all to be so thankful for the many blessings we experience every day & to enjoy life💕❤️💕

[@laurenmurphy1776]

Every year in Nov I take my vacation to cook for a deer camp about an hour from my home. Baked spaghetti is one of the entrees I cook simply because it's delish and feeds a multitude of starving hunters. I make 2 of those 13×9×2 pans and serve green beans, salad, and rolls with it along with a dessert. If there's any left, it will be devoured the next morning. Thanks, Paula for all you do. You are truly an inspiration.

[@melaneymattson3733]

Canned diced tomatoes usually have an additive called calcium chloride, which is a firming agent. If you are making something like chili or a stew/soup then canned diced tomatoes might be better cuz they stay in chunks.

[@wildamericanboy88]

I love baked spaghetti in restaurants, so I'll try this @ home. Thanks, Paula Deen!

[@phtexas60home70]

I have to say I got a kick out of this recipe. I actually over 40 years ago made a very hearty dinner very similar. I would start with 4 chicken breasts seasoned with garlic and Italian seasoning and place in oven to bake. I would then brown my ground beef and make a very similar sauce but I would add a tbsp of sugar. Boil up a large pot of rotini. Then mix the noodles with the sauce. Cut up my chicken not shred scatter on top then top with mozzarella cheddar and parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes and the becomes extremely quiet. With young children this is a wonderful peace like no other. Thank you for reminding me of those beautiful memories.

[@mickid3705]

I made this for dinner tonight. I used angle hair spaghetti like you said and I also left the beef in larger chunks like you recommended. This was so good. I didn’t have cheddar, so we used mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. We loved this dish. Thanks for sharing

[@joyscranfield5527]

Back when I was a kid & mom made spaghetti sauce she always said if it wasn't simmering by a certain time it wouldn't be good...the flavors had to mesh together she would say. She slow simmered it for at least a couple hours. Same when she cooked a pot of pinto beans! O, my friend Roberta's mom added a good-sized spoon of honey to her spaghetti sauce & it was delicious, too.

[@JamesDeese]

MMMMM...reminds me of school days. Baked spaghetti day was the best.

[@teresa4417]

Paula I just love you!! We watched your cooking shows in the past and used so many of your fabulous dishes. So glad to have found your channel!!! Give me a dish with butter or cheese and I'm there. Love ya!!

[@JoeHollywood22]

You have 2 years worth of these cooking shows to catch up on lol They're better than the old TV show to me.

[@gregedgar6012]

I do this to get rid of spaghetti sauce after eating it for a day or two. Great for leftovers and somehow tastes like something new. Delicious.

[@chrisreeves1547]

I can't wait to make this! And..............I learned several things.. ... I have never used angel hair pasta, I have never sprayed the pasta with oil out of the can, and I did not know about using crushed tomatoes! We are going to love, love your recipe! Thank you again.

We make this but we put minced pork too and boiled eggs on each layer also we cut up mortadella meat put it with the eggs and cheeses but we use spiral pasta it’s delish

This is what I do with leftover sauce and spaghetti. I mix it together and layer it with cheeses and Italian seasoning. We love it!

[@dw2064]

It looks delicious. I have never made baked spaghetti and mom never made it in general because my picky brother wouldn’t eat red sauce. Leaving chunks of meat is a great idea it’s like having a meatball with every bite. I’ll have to try your recipe.

[@charitys.3862]

Instead of spraying the noodles, you can put just a little olive 🫒 oil in the pot when they're boiling. 👌

[@Samantha-ys2pp]

Italians would not put oil in the boiling water.

[@ryneallen5163]

If you add oil to your pasta water the sauce will not stick to the noodles/

[@charitys.3862]

@@ryneallen5163 not an issue here You're baking it. Its not like regular spaghetti. I just suggested the oil in the noodles because she said to spray them, Its better to add a little oil to keep them from sticking than to spray. But, I really dont think either one is necessary. If I had to pick I'd rather add a tiny bit of healthy olive oil. 🙂

[@charitys.3862]

@@Samantha-ys2pp bet they definitely wouldn't spray the noodles with cooking spray though!

[@stacey5925]

@@charitys.3862 Yes, I really don't like when she uses that spray on food. It wasn't meant to be used like that, and she is misleading so many by doing so. It's not healthy! People need to read labels...a wake up call to what exactly is in it.

Chef John suggests putting a little baking soda in your sauce to reduce the acidity in addition to the sugar. I've never tried that though.

[@stacey5925]

Yes, it works, just be sure to just use a pinch. When you stir it will bubble and foam, so lower your heat and don't have your sauce pot full to the brim or you will have a mess! I would not use sugar.
