Bake covered for 1 hour or uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve.
Sprinkle with parmesan to taste.
This dish goes great with warmed French bread, drizzled with olive oil and garlic. If you do not have French bread, or olive oil, throw some regular sliced bread in the oven with butter and garlic and broil until crisp (about 2 minutes).
This recipe is quick, easy and cheap. But the best part of baked spaghetti?
