Baked Spaghetti Recipe?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a baked spaghetti recipe they love? I've tried a few recipes but they all turn out pasty and gross. I have sauce, spaghetti, eggs, mozarella, ricotta and some veggies. How can I throw this together so it doesnt come out icky?

Six o Clock Scramble (http://www.sixoclockscramble.com) has a yummy baked spaghetti recipe. I HIGHLY recommend it - and the service. Also tastes great as leftovers. Hope she doesn't mind me putting it here:

* 16 oz. whole wheat or regular spaghetti
* 26 oz. red pasta sauce, any flavor
* 1 cup part-skim ricotta or low fat cottage cheese
* 1-2 cups fresh or shredded mozzarella cheese, (diced if using fresh mozzarella), to taste
* 1-2 cups frozen peas, diced bell pepper, shredded zucchini, or diced cooked chicken or sausage (optional)
* 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and spray a large deep casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Cook the noodles according to the package directions until they are al dente (slightly firm to the bite), and drain them. Return the noodles to the pot and toss them with the sauce, ricotta or cottage cheese, mozzarella, and any vegetables or cooked meat (optional).

Spread the mixture evenly in the casserole dish and top it with Parmesan cheese. Bake it, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or slightly longer for a firmer top. (Prepare the salad while the pasta is baking.) (Note: this dish can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat it in the microwave or 350 degree oven until it is heated through.)

Scramble Flavor Booster: Stir 1/4-1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes and/or up to 2 tsp. dried Italian herbs, such as basil, oregano, and/or thyme into the pasta before spreading it in the baking dish.

I used to have this great recipe for spaghetti "pie", I don't have the exact recipe but have made it something like this

Boil 1 box of spaghetti until done

Beat 2 eggs with 1/2-3/4 cup parm cheese and toss with spaghetti
Mold into a round pie dish and push it up the sides so there is a thin layer in the middle and thicker on the sides it is the "crust"

1 cup ricotta mixed with 1 egg , salt and pepper and a little italian seasoning, put this in the middle

Cover the whole thing with sauce of choice, toss ground meat or sausage into the sauce or veggies instead of meat.

Bake for 30-40 minutes at 350
cut like a pie and serve with a salad, mmm I think I might make this this week, I forgot about it until now!
