Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb spaghetti noodles (uncooked) The base of this dish that will soak up all the flavors.
16 oz marinara sauce Adds savory goodness.
3 cups chicken broth (or water) Provides moisture and enhances flavor.
1 tsp Italian seasoning A key herb combination that elevates the dish.
6 tsp minced garlic For that aromatic punch.
1 whole onion (chopped) Adds texture and sweetness.
8 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded) Creates a gooey, melty topping.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
In a 9×13 oven-safe baking dish, combine the spaghetti noodles, marinara sauce, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and chopped onion.
Gently stir the ingredients together, ensuring that the noodles are fully submerged in the liquid.

Baking

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through.
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the spaghetti.
Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with fresh herbs and grated parmesan for extra flavor. Great for leftovers and can be frozen for up to three months.
