Cheesy Creamy Baked Spaghetti

Beneath the quiet hum of the kitchen, there’s something deeply comforting about preparing a dish that wraps you in warmth before the first bite. This cheesy creamy baked spaghetti is a hug in a dish, perfect for those evenings when the world outside feels a little too loud.

Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti (break in half for easier mixing)
• 2 cups heavy cream (for a lighter version, half-and-half works)
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated melts smoother)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided for layers)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a slight kick)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Tip: Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining for adjusting sauce consistency later.
3. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine with the garlic. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Tip: If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
6. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing until evenly coated with the sauce.
7. Transfer half of the spaghetti mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, then top with the remaining spaghetti and the rest of the mozzarella.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Tip: For an extra crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

The baked spaghetti emerges from the oven with a golden crust that gives way to a creamy, cheesy interior, each forkful a perfect balance of texture and flavor. Try serving it straight from the dish at the table for a cozy, family-style meal that invites seconds.
