Baked Spaghetti Casserole with Cheese
My grandma's beloved baked spaghetti casserole is a cherished family vegetarian dish. Ricotta, feta and garlic bake with the pasta into an ultimate comfort meal, ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 500 g spaghetti
- 200 g ricotta
- 200 g feta cheese
- 6 cloves garlic mashed
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- sea salt to taste
- white pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package (10-12 minutes).
- Preheat your oven to 395F (200C).
- Coat the oven tray with some olive oil.
- Drain the spaghetti and put it in a large bowl.
- Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper and pour them over the pasta.
- Using a fork, blend the cheeses together until they have a paste-like consistency, then add them over the spaghetti.
- Add the sliced or mashed garlic (optional).
- Mix well, then transfer everything to the oven tray.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, until golden and crispy. You can use the grill for the last 10 minutes to create a lovely crust on top.
Notes
Cook the pasta only to al dente since it continues cooking in the oven. Use the grill setting for the final 10 minutes for a crisp, golden crust. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven.
