How to Make Baked Spaghetti Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  5. Stir in tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. In a large bowl, combine cooked spaghetti, meat sauce, ricotta cheese (if using), and beaten eggs. Mix well.
  7. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly and cheese is melted and golden brown.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
