This baked spaghetti has both Alfredo and Marinara Sauces along with giant meatballs perfect for Italian Night. You can’t go wrong with spaghetti and meatballs, it’s a classic. But when you toss the cooked spaghetti in the most creamy alfredo and top with lots of mozzarella cheese and bake for 25 minutes now we’re talkin’! Seriously…if you want to win friends and influence people, this baked spaghetti is just the ticket.

  • 08
