THE BEST (AND EASIEST) TWICE-BAKED SPAGHETTI EVER
This is the only spaghetti that may husband raves about. It consists of Barilla whole grain spaghetti, Newmsn's Own Sockarooni sauce & 1 lb of lean ground beef. I inserted the ingredients of the sauce so that the nutritional information would be accurate but some of the ingredient measurements may not be exactly accurate.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables, and high-quality cheese and sauce.
- Don't overcook the spaghetti. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked spaghetti will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Use a large baking dish. This will help to ensure that the spaghetti is evenly cooked and that there is enough room for the sauce to spread out.
- Be generous with the cheese. Cheese is what makes baked spaghetti so delicious, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of cheese per pound of spaghetti.
- Let the spaghetti rest before serving. This will help the cheese to set and the flavors to meld together. Let the spaghetti rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
