I recently shared this yummy spaghetti bake in my Instagram stories and so many of you wanted the recipe.
This is a family favorite here in our home. It is the perfect quick weeknight meal that can also be made ahead of time and baked in the oven later. This recipe feeds a crowd. It’s also a favorite dish among those picky eaters too. I serve mine with a salad and toasted garlic bread.

Absolutely you can! You can divide the recipe and make 2 8×8 pans or just double the recipe and bake one now and have one for later.
