Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spaghetti Pizza Bake.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to create a delicious spaghetti bake.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C) and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 4
Toss in the broken spaghetti and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, ensuring it remains tender yet firm to the bite.
Step 5
Once cooked, drain the spaghetti and give it a quick rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 6
In a spacious bowl, blend together 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, milk, a beaten egg, salt, and garlic salt until well combined.
Step 7
Gently fold in the drained spaghetti, ensuring every strand is coated in the creamy mixture.
Step 8
Transfer this delightful concoction into your prepared baking dish and let it bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Step 9
After this initial bake, take the dish out and lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Step 10
Generously spread the spaghetti sauce over the noodle mixture, then sprinkle with oregano and basil for that aromatic touch.
Step 11
Top it off with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese and artfully arrange the sliced pepperoni on top.
Step 12
Return the dish to the oven and let it bake for another 30 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously bubbly and golden brown.
Step 13
Once done, allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into this cheesy masterpiece and serving it up.
Step 14
Enjoy the comforting flavors of this spaghetti bake, perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in!.
