This recipe is a favorite meal in my family, and has been for a long time. Not only is this meal cost effective and filling, it makes a lot. However, it still gets gobbled up so fast when I make it.

What Is The Secret To Making Baked Spaghetti So Flavorful?

There are several ingredients to this dish, but many of them are seasonings. I love using these seasonings because they give so much flavor that I don't normally find in spaghetti dishes.

There is no jarred spaghetti sauce here because the sauce is made from soups, tomato sauce, and a variety of herbs and seasonings. Once the dish is put together it takes some time to bake, like most baked pasta dishes, but it is well worth the wait.
