This dish is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. I usually make a big batch of spaghetti on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make this bake during the week. It's a great way to get a quick and easy meal on the table.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy meal. I usually use a jarred tomato sauce, but I'm sure it would be even better with homemade sauce. I also like to add some cooked vegetables to the sauce, such as spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
