Baked Spaghetti Recipe

I will describe Baked Spaghetti as a simple Spaghetti dish topped with a rich béchamel sauce and baked to perfection. This recipe will give life to a simple spaghetti dish.

Preparing baked spaghetti might sound complicated, but it is not. It is like preparing regular spaghetti plus the white sauce and baking them all together. The white sauce or béchamel sauce helps makes the dish richer and thicker. It also provides a wonderful taste that pampers the taste buds.

I love having baked spaghetti especially if there is a slice of buttery toast bread in my plate. This can be added as a comfort food in my list. Of course, pinoy spaghetti is always a tradition that will always be part of who I am.
In terms of storing leftovers, you can freeze any left over for about a week. Make sure that you thaw it first before heating in a microwave oven.
