Baked Spaghetti

This is a simple twist on classic spaghetti.  I do not do anything fancy at all. 



Baked Spaghetti
Ingredients
1 12-16oz package spaghetti noodles
1/2 recipe of tomato sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese

Directions
  1. Boil noodles until just done.
  2. In a 9x13 pan, put a thin layer of sauce.
  3. Place half of the noodles on top of the sauce.
  4. Cover noodles with half of the sauce.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese on top of the sauce.
  6. Repeat 3-5 with the rest of the ingredients.
  7. Bake on 350 until the cheese is just starting to brown and is bubbly.
Notes
Let sit for 5 minutes before serving, that way it doesn't fall apart when you scoop it out.

1/2 recipe of tomato sauce is close to one jar of sauce.  To get my recipe for tomato sauce, click HERE.

How much does this cost?

1 16oz package spaghetti noodles = $1.25
1/2 recipe tomato sauce = $1.03
2 cups mozzarella cheese = $2.00

If you added meat to your sauce, like I did for this recipe, then you will need to add the price of the meat.  I used ground beef, which is approx $4.00 a pound, so the cost of the meat in 1/2 recipe would be $2.

This meal costs me $6.28.
