Baked Spaghetti Tips

  • For a healthier version of this recipe, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef, and low-fat cottage cheese and sour cream.
  • If you want a more pronounced cheesy flavor, you can use a mixture of different cheeses in place of the mozzarella, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or provolone.
  • To save time, you can assemble the spaghetti mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake.
  • If you're short on oven space, you can divide the spaghetti mixture between two smaller baking dishes instead of using one large one.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
