- Dash Garlic salt
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350. Next boil a pot of water and cook your spaghetti half way, about 4 minutes, then strain and put in a bowl and add some olive oil so the spaghetti doesn't get sticky.
- Next, use a small, 8" x 8" corning ware/stoneware baking pan that is deep enough to layer your spaghetti.
- Then, you will need 3 bowls and a plate out for layering. Add your bread crumbs and flax to one bowl, grated cheese to another, and sauce in another. Lay out your American cheese on a plate if you would like as it makes the process easier to put together.
- From the bottom, cover with sauce, put a layer of spaghetti, sprinkle bread crumbs, grated cheese, and add 1/2 teaspoons of butter about 2 inches apart, then layer your cheese with 3-4 pieces. Repeat one more time through the above.
- Add sauce on top of the last layer of American Cheese, add the remaining spaghetti, and add 2 pieces of crumbled American cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Lastly, add some fresh basil leaves to the top, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, remove from the oven and serve....This is a Fantastic Baked Spaghetti....Enjoy!!!
Beet Salad
- Boil beets for 45 minutes or until fork goes through. Strain, peel skin off immediately under cold water, cut and add garlic salt and oil and vinegar and serve.
