Cheesy Baked Spaghetti

5 from 1 vote

Cook the spaghetti just until al dente so it finishes perfectly in the oven. Let the heavy cream bubble gently before adding Parmesan to keep the sauce silky. Use a mix of sharp cheddar and freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and flavor. Toss the pasta in the sauce until well coated before adding the cheese on top.

24 ounces pasta sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉, then cook the spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef and onions until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft. Then add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
Lower the heat to medium, add black pepper, Italian seasoning, and heavy cream. Stirring occasionally until the sauce starts to bubble. Then, slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Add the pasta sauce and stir until well combined. Add cooked spaghetti and toss to coat in the sauce, then top with cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling around the edges.
