Lasagna is always a family favorite. However, it can be time consuming to make. So, I am always looking for a way to simplify the process. This baked spaghetti lasagna (AKA Spasagna) is a fun change and quicker to make.
The mixture of mozzarella, ricotta, sour cream, half and half, parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, pepper, garlic, and salt gets tossed with cooked spaghetti noodles. Then you place it in a 9 x 13 dish. This bakes for 30 minutes. While baking, you brown up some beef or sausage and mix in a bottle of marinara. Once the pasta portion is baked you just cut into squares and top with the sauce mixture. The family loved this spasagna just as much as the usual lasagna.
This baked spaghetti lasagna does make a whole 9 x 13 pan but the recipe could be easily cut in half. I love that the pasta cuts easily into perfect squares and is easy to serve – a lot easier to serve than regular lasagna. No slippery noodles here.
