Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 -6 ounces spaghetti or 4 -6 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked until al dente and drained
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 3/4-2 cups milk (depending on how thick you want the sauce)
1/2-3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup your favorite pasta sauce

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F Line a loaf pan with foil (I like the release foil).
In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, or until it smells a little nutty.
With a whisk, gradually mix in the milk. This is when you decided how much milk you think it will need.
Bring sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, remove from the heat and add the cheese, salt, and pepper.
Pour about 1/3 tablespoons of the sauce on the bottom of the loaf pan then top evenly with 1/3 of the pasta sauce and then the pasta itself.
Repeat this two more times, cover the pan with more foil then bake in oven for 20-30 minutes.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve.
This is very good next to a italian breaded chicken breast. MMMMmmmm!

SPAGHETTI LOAF - 1935

Spaghetti Loaf - 1935 image

I got this recipe from the cookbook 'Mary Dunbar's Favorite Recipes', which was published in 1935. I believe Ms. Dunbar was the spokesperson for the Jewel Tea Company, which manufactored spice products, in addition to other food items. Although I haven't yet tried this recipe, it sounds good, especially for those who don't care...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

8 oz spaghetti noodles
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter
3 eggs
1 c milk
1 c grated cheddar cheese
1 and 1/4 c butter flavored crackers, roughly crushed
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp minced onion
1 - 2 Tbsp chopped pimento
1 Tbsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt
SAUCE INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp butter or shortening
2 Tbsp cornstarch or flour
1 and 1/2 c milk or vegetable broth
1/2 - 1 c grated cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

1. Break spaghetti in half and cook in rapidly boiling, salted water until al dente. Set aside.
2. Beat eggs well, then add remaing ingredients to eggs (not sauce ingredients); mix well. Mix in spaghetti.
3. Melt butter in loaf pan; swirl to coat pan. Pour spaghetti mixture into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool briefly, then turn out on platter. Top with sauce and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
4. FOR SAUCE: Melt butter or shortening, add cornstarch or flour and stir until smooth. Add milk or broth; continue stirring until thickened and smooth. Add cheese; stir until melted. Stir in pepper.

Tips:

Cook the spaghetti al dente. This means that the spaghetti should be slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook the spaghetti, it will be mushy and difficult to handle.
Use a good quality ground beef. The quality of the ground beef will greatly affect the flavor of the spaghetti loaf. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
Season the ground beef well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to season the ground beef, such as garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. This will help to give the spaghetti loaf a lot of flavor.
Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing the meatloaf mixture will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Bake the spaghetti loaf at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the loaf. You may need to cover the baking pan with foil or use a baking dish with a lid if you are not able to bake it at a high temperature.
Let the spaghetti loaf cool before slicing. This will help to hold the loaf together when you slice it.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. With a few simple tips, you can make a spaghetti loaf that is sure to please everyone at the table.
