Description
A delicious baked spaghetti dish made with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. dry spaghetti
- 24 oz. marinara sauce (store bought or homemade)
- 1 medium onion (peeled, roots removed, sliced in half, and then cut into half moon slices)
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place dry spaghetti in the baking pan. Pour the marinara sauce over the top, then add the onion, garlic, seasonings, and olive oil. Cover with the chicken broth. Mix well, so the pasta doesn’t stick together.
- Cover with foil and place in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Peel back the foil and mix everything. Place the foil back on and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil, gently stir, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top. Return to the oven, uncovered, for another 15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Garnish with parsley, serve, and enjoy!
