How to Make Ben's Baked Spaghetti

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a greased 9x13 inch glass baking dish, spread 1 cup of spaghetti sauce and 1/2 cup of pizza sauce on the bottom. This thin layer prevents sticking.
  3. Add 1 pound of cooked spaghetti, tossed with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, to the baking dish.
  4. Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce (approximately 1 1/2 cups) and pizza sauce (approximately 1/2 cup) over the spaghetti, ensuring all noodles are coated.
  5. Generously sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  6. Add your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/4 cup chopped onions). Sprinkle with an additional 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
