Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Leftover Spaghetti Lasagna.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light coat of cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Next, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling, add in the spaghetti and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until it’s tender yet still has a slight bite to it.
Step 5
After draining the spaghetti well, transfer it to a large bowl and mix in your favorite spaghetti sauce, tossing everything together until the pasta is beautifully coated.
Step 6
In another bowl, combine cottage cheese and sour cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to build your dish! Spread half of the spaghetti mixture evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Step 8
Next, layer the creamy cottage cheese mixture on top, spreading it out gently.
Step 9
Follow this with the remaining spaghetti and sauce, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Step 10
To finish, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, creating a cheesy blanket that will melt to perfection.
Step 11
Place your dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it’s bubbling with joy and the cheese is a lovely golden brown.
Step 12
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your delightful spaghetti bake!.
