Bacon Spaghetti Bake doesn't need an introduction. It impresses from the moment it's placed on the table, with its creamy, herbaceous sauce, tender noodles, and crispy bacon. Really, the melted mozzarella is just a hat on a hat (in the most delicious way, of course). The real power of Bacon Spaghetti Bake is to take a few classic ingredients and zhush it up so much that it becomes something else entirely: a taste greater than the sum of its parts. Since its parts include bacon, that is quite a tall order, and yet it succeeds!
