• Carolyn Bentley

  This baked spagettie recipe sounds scrumptious and I am fixing it for dinner tonight. Thank you and I will surely be visiting your web page again. Nice meeting you and have a good day.

• Amy

  Can you freeze this recipe? If so, would you recommend freezing it before baking it or do you think it would be ok to freeze after? It sounds delicious, thats just a LOT more food than what I would need at one time.

  • Budget Savvy Diva

    We actually freeze it after it is done — I use a Food Saver bag.

      So cook it before frezzing it? How long will it keep frozen?

  This is a great potluck dish. Easy.
  Thanks

  Can you use left-over spaghetti?

• Suzie

  I always add cinnamon to my homemade tomato sauces. It is great to watch people try to figure out what that flavor is.

  Thanks this looks delicious and is going on my pintrest!!

  I don’t have any cottage cheese, but I do have ricotta. Would that work as a substitute?

  • Budget Savvy Diva

    Yes it will 🙂

• kim

  This looks sooooo good. I have some ground turkey, will defiantly be making this!!! NOW I’m hungry after seeing the finished product 🙂

  I just made this recipe (as I have most of your others). As usual, I followed it to a T….until I got to the Mozzarella. I had just opened a new 5lb bag of the shredded cheese and since the bag was kinda awkward to handle, I “eyeballed” the 4 cups. Needless to say, I must have gone waaay overboard on my guessing. Since I didn’t have any extra sauce to pour over it to take away the dry flavor, I used Chunky Salsa instead. Yes..salsa! It was actually quite good. I will be trying this recipe again, but this time I’m trying it with Jack Cheese and only FOUR cups, like you said, lol. THANKS!

  I know you said this is a “Lazy lasagna” I make lasagna in the crockpot 😛

• Missy

  I have done a similar recipe using macaroni noodles and called it lasagna casserole. My family LOVES it! I might have to try yours though with the spaghetti noodles. 🙂

• Emilee

  This sounds delicious and just like a recipe my mom made when I was young (and I loved!) However I’ve since gone vegetarian and have yet to find a meat crumble substitute that I enjoy.. do you think it would work well just omitting the beef?

  • MomB

    YES, it sure does. I have a meatless recipe that uses both cottage cheese and ricotta cheese. It is delicious!

• Holly

  Tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! It was easy and tasted great, would definitely recommend!!

  • Budget Savvy Diva

    I am so glad you liked it 🙂

• Linda O.

  I always use leftover spaghetti to do this

• Sarah

  My husband does not like cottage cheese or ricotta. Can I substitute something?

• Kane

  How can I make this taste yummy when omitting some of the cheese products? My daughter can only eat goat cheeses, nothing from the cow. Thanks!

• carolyn

  Cant wait to try this recipe.. my mouth is watering right now!

• Kellie

  I’ve heard of people using cream cheese, has anyone ever tried this?? Could it replace the cottage cheese?

  • Alisha

    I was wondering the same thing. I have some cream cheese, but no cottage cheese. I figure it will just make it richer. Let’s see what thttps://www.budgetsavvydiva.com/2012/02/baked-spaghetti-recipe/#respondhe Diva says 🙂

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      You can try it 🙂 I have done it and it works out well

      • Alisha

        Thanks Love!! I can’t wait to try this for dinner!

  […] Baked spaghetti is definitely different, and that’s one of the great things about potlucks. You get to try a little bit of a lot of foods you wouldn’t normally get to eat. […]

• Amy

  Can I make this the night before? If so, how should I go about doing that? Cook all the way through and reheat or put it all together (pasta cooked) and put in the oven the next day?

• Tat

  Love the cinnamon. Reminds me of moussaka! Great tip thanks so much.

• Sherry

  Made this last night as directed (halved the recipe though). I knew I’d enjoy it but wasn’t certain my husband would. I’ve made a basic type baked spaghetti before and he’s never terribly thrilled. HOWEVER, he thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! As did I. Had leftovers for lunch today, might even be better the 2nd day. I feel the cinnamon gives it a great unique flavor. Reminded us a little of Cincinnati chili! Thanks for sharing, we’ll definitely keep it on our rotation.

• Janice Sherman

  It’s in the oven now.Sounded Delicious!

  […] I went to make this Baked Spaghetti the other day and as I was opening my container of cottage cheese, well, I found out […]

• lauren

  I just made this for myself and two kids (3 and 15 months) and though I was a little worried about the cottage cheese instead of ricotta, It worked out cause I had cottage cheese and not ricotta. It was absolutely delicious. Both kids scarfed it down, and my husband will have plenty of leftovers for when he gets home. Omg amazing recipe. Super easy (as I am not the cooker, my husband is)

  The cottage cheese and cinnamon were perfect (those were the two ingredients I was ify about lol) but I trusted that you’ve done this way more than me and went with it. I couldn’t be more excited about how wonderful this turned out.

  Thank you.

  • Watson

    Yay!!!! Your review made my day 🙂

• Allie Talley

  I can’t wait to try this! You have so many good recipes!

• Ruth Montgomery

  I have enjoyed your reciepe and will try it tomorrow. When I am cooking my ground meat, I typically do three pounds at one time and vacuum seal and freeze the extra in two batches. It takes no more effort and it sure comes in handy when you aren’t up to cooking.
  I have enjoyed your presentation. The actual reciepe was easy to find and, we even got extra suggested recipes. Great job!
