Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 24 oz marinara sauce
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the skillet with the beef. Simmer for 3–5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce mixture, tossing until evenly coated.
Transfer half of the spaghetti mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan over the layer.
Add the remaining spaghetti mixture on top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
