- Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy in the bake.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what makes a spaghetti bake so delicious. Choose a sauce that you love, such as a meat sauce, a tomato sauce, or a white sauce.
- Add some vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to a spaghetti bake. Some good choices include broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- Top it off with cheese. Cheese is the perfect finishing touch for a spaghetti bake. It melts and gets gooey, creating a delicious crust on top.
- Bake it until it's bubbly. A spaghetti bake is done when it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
