How to Make Baked Spaghetti With Chicken

  1. In a large pot, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Bring the tomato mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low.
  3. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  4. While the sauce simmers, brown 1 pound ground beef, 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces), and 1/2 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.
  5. Add the cooked ground beef, chicken, and sausage to the simmering tomato sauce.
  6. Simmer for another 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. In a greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish, layer 1/3 of the sauce, then a layer of 8 ounces angel hair pasta.
  9. Dot the pasta with 4 ounces cream cheese, then top with 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  10. Repeat layers: sauce, pasta, cream cheese, Swiss, cheddar, and Monterey Jack, ending with a layer of sauce.
  11. Bake for 30 minutes.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
