BAKED SPAGHETTI (CHEESY & SPICY)



Baked Spaghetti (Cheesy & Spicy) image

I know there are a lot of Baked Spaghetti recipes on Zaar, but this is one my sister and I came up with for our group study, and it was so good, I wanted to keep the recipe here. It makes a lot, but freezes well. You can also make it the night before and just pop it in the oven the next night.

Time 1h10m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb lean ground beef (browned)
1 cup onion
1/2 cup sweet red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
4 -6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon butter
2 (10 ounce) cans rotel (If you like it spicer, use 3 cans of Rotel and leave out the diced tomatoes. That is what I did when)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
12 ounces cooked and drained spaghetti
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla & Asadero cheese combination)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
paprika

Steps:

  • Saute onion, peppers and garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until tender.
  • Add tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, hamburger meat, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Place 1/2 of the spaghetti in a greased 13x9x3 inch dish.
  • Top with half the meat sauce mixture.
  • Sprinkle with 2 cups of Fiesta Blend Cheese.
  • Repeat layers.
  • After second layer of cheddar cheese, sprinkle all the parmesan cheese on top.
  • Mix soup with water and pour over casserole. I used my finger to spread evenly so not to disturbe the cheese.
  • Sprinkle with paprika to garnish.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.
  • NOTE: I believe because of all the cheese in this recipe, there is extra liquid/water after the spaghetti is cut and allowed to sit. Don't worry about it. When the remaining dish is stored, just drain off extra liquid. It does not affect the taste of the recipe.

SPICY CHORIZO PASTA



Spicy Chorizo Pasta image

Macaroni and chorizo is classic Spanish comfort food. While iterations abound, it typically starts by frying smoked chorizo with a little onion, adding canned or fresh tomato and maybe some oregano, then letting it simmer into a thick tomato sauce. It's often topped with cheese and baked like a mac and cheese. Instead of fresh tomatoes, this recipe uses highly concentrated tomato paste, which is made by cooking down tomatoes for ages so you don't have to. The paste fries in the chorizo's rendered drippings for a very fast, silky, smoky and spicy sauce. When shopping for this recipe, look for Spanish chorizo, a shelf-stable sausage usually found near salami and other cured meats in the grocery store. Mexican chorizo is sold fresh and is made with different chiles and spices.

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound orecchiette or other short pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
4 ounces Spanish chorizo, casing removed (see Tip), if necessary, and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons double concentrate tomato paste (or 6 tablespoons canned tomato paste)
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, according to package directions, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and chorizo over medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is crisp and brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a plate.
  • Return the pot to medium heat and add the tomato paste and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste is caramelized and a shade darker, 3 to 5 minutes, covering the pan if the splattering is wild. Add the red-pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper, then remove from heat.
  • Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the tomato mixture. Return the pot to the medium-high heat, and stir vigorously until the pasta is well coated. Add more pasta water until the sauce is glossy. Stir in the chorizo and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • To make the dish more flavorful, use freshly ground beef instead of pre-ground beef.
  • If you like spicy food, add a diced jalapeño pepper to the sauce.
  • You can substitute whole wheat spaghetti for regular spaghetti to make the dish healthier.
  • If you don't have any Mexican seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt.
  • Serve the spaghetti with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced tomatoes.
  • If you don't have chili sauce on hands, you can substitute it with tomato sauce.
  • To make the dish vegetarian, use black or refried beans instead of beef.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This spicy Mexican spaghetti is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. The combination of flavors in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting pasta dish to try, give this spicy Mexican spaghetti a try.
