Baked Spaghetti Lasagna
Ingredients
- 24 oz spaghetti
- 4 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated and divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 5 cups (40 oz) marinara sauce
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a high-sided skillet, brown the ground beef. Drain fat, if needed. Stir in marinara sauce and let simmer 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and mix with beef/marinara sauce. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, egg, sour cream, Parmesan, salt, oregano, and basil.
- Layer 1/3 of the spaghetti in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half of the ricotta filling, and about 1/3 of the mozzarella.
- Repeat layers again - 1/3 of the spaghetti, 1/2 of the ricotta, 1/3 of the mozzarella. Finish with the remaining spaghetti and mozzarella.
- Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 35-45 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
