Chef Dad's Baked Spaghetti
INGREDIENTS
24 oz. Jar of Marinara pasta sauce (your favorite)
1 ½ lbs. Ground Beef
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
12 oz. Cooked spaghetti (3/4 box)
8 oz. Mild cheddar cheese (fresh shredded)
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese (fresh shredded)
Salt & Pepper
COOKING
1) Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Get a large pot of salted water over high heat.
2) After shredding your cheeses, combine them and set aside.
3) In a large pan over medium high heat, add olive oil then fry ground beef with a few heavy pinches of salt & pepper until fully cooked. Drain and combine with pasta sauce in a large bowl. Mix together and set aside covered.
4) Boil pasta per package instructions, then drain. Have all your ingredients ready when the pasta is done so your assembly can move quickly. You don't want your pasta to sit and get clumpy.
5) For assembly, first cover bottom of 9 x 13 casserole dish with 1 cup of the sauce & meat mix. Next, lay ½ of your cooked spaghetti over sauce, then a little less than ½ of both cheeses. Now layer ½ of your remaining sauce-meat mix, then remaining spaghetti, rest of sauce & finally the rest of your cheese.
6) Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
Options
1) For a vegetarian version, substitute the meat for sautéed vegetables of your choice like mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, etc.
2) Your meat mix could include Italian sausage, but don't exceed 1 ½ lbs. of total meat.
3) Other sauces besides marinara could be used such as vodka, puttanesca, Alfredo, etc.
4) For an even moister dish, use an extra ½ bottle of sauce.
