👩‍🍳 Recipe of the Week: Baked Spaghetti

Baked spaghetti is what comfort food is all about—cheesy, hearty, and completely adaptable to whatever you have on hand. While we could never get tired of classic spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, when we need a shortcut to the same flavours, this is the casserole to turn to. Ready in around an hour, this is the simplest and most satisfying dish when you're looking to please, without investing heaps of extra effort.
