How to Make Baked Spasagna By Cheddar's
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook 1 pound of spaghetti al dente according to package directions. Rinse under cold water and drain thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the cheese mixture (see below).
- **Cheese Mixture:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup half-and-half, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Gently mix the cheese mixture and spaghetti until the pasta is evenly coated.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with olive oil.
- Pour the spaghetti mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before cutting into 6-8 squares.
- **Meat Sauce:** In a heavy saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking up clumps, until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Return the cooked beef to the pan. Stir in 24 ounces of your favorite spaghetti sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon basil, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 cup red wine (optional), and 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top each serving of baked spaghetti with the meat sauce and serve immediately with warm garlic bread.
