Assemble the Casserole Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread half of the buttered spaghetti into the bottom of the dish.
Spoon and spread all of the creamy cheese mixture over the noodles.
Add the remaining spaghetti on top.
Pour the meat sauce evenly over the top layer of pasta.
Finish by sprinkling mozzarella and parmesan cheese over everything.
Bake Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
Pair with garlic bread or warm rolls to soak up the sauce.
Excellent with iced tea, sparkling water, or a glass of red wine.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheat individual portions in the microwave or reheat the entire dish in a 325°F oven until hot.
To freeze: let the casserole cool, wrap tightly in foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
