Ingredients

16 ounces spaghetti
6 cups spaghetti sauce, divided
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
basil leaves, to taste, torn, for garnish

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3 -In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti for 2 minutes less than what the package directions recommend for al dente. Drain well.

Step 4 -Pour 2 cups of the spaghetti sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5 -In a large mixing bowl, add the egg and the milk and beat to combine.

Step 6 -Add 3 cups of the spaghetti sauce to the egg mixture and mix well.

Step 7 -Add the cooked spaghetti to the egg mixture and stir well to coat. If the spaghetti mixture appears dry, add the remaining spaghetti sauce and mix well.

Step 8 -Spread the spaghetti mixture over the sauce layer in the baking dish, then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.

Step 9 -Bake the spaghetti casserole until bubbly and the cheese is golden-brown, about 30-40 minutes.

Step 10 -Let the spaghetti bake rest for 10 minutes.

Step 11 -Serve the spaghetti bake garnished with the basil.
