I love good tasting spaghetti! Who doesn’t? I know you all have your recipes of spaghetti but let me share with you my recipe. This might give you a different approach to the dish we all love! Instead of the traditional way of cooking it on the stove, I made it a casserole dish where I baked it. The melted cheese is my favorite part. It is perfectly beautiful to look at. Serve it with garlic bread and iced tea. It’s the best!
