• Yes, you could put zoodles in it, in place of the spaghetti! Zoodles are noodles made from zucchini. They are so good! 
• Use the cheese and ground beef topped off with some tomatoes and cheese.

Okay, I know that this baked spaghetti doesn’t look like the best meal ever, but I am here to tell you, it is so good. I have taken this recipe to friends when they have been sick and they have always asked me for the recipe. It is my go to when I cannot decide what to eat for dinner.

My son that doesn’t care for olives; I just tell him to pick them out. Also, I guess that you can make the tomatoes smaller and that way those who do not care for tomatoes won’t have anything to complain about. I also love the mushrooms in it, they just help everything go together so well.  But whatever you do and don’t put in it, you have just got to try it!

 

 

 

Tips and Tricks For Baked Spaghetti:

 

• Under-cook the spaghetti. Otherwise, it may turn out a little mushy, so if you under-cook it by a few minutes, it works out well.
• You can use any can of creamed soup in place of the can of cream of mushroom soup.
• Substitute ground turkey for ground beef, if desired.
