Yeya, I won yet another givaway and it's the first day of spring! Thank you Elisabeth @Food and Thrift Finds! Can hardly wait till my book arrives and I can indulge myself into the delicious pages! Thank you again Elisabeth for sharing!

My husband just loves when the spaghetti are all crunched up in the oven. I'm the total opposite, I like my spaghetti smooth and smoother in enormous quantities of yummy sauce (no matter what kind, white, red, pesto...) So I balance, but as I cook It's me who decide which way it will go, bwahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!  I served my pasta with a side of green salad with black beans and some garlic bread.


Spagetti In The Oven

SPAGHETTI IN THE OVEN(for printable recipe click here)
Ingredients:½ green bell pepper, finely diced5 cloves garlic, sliced to circles1 small onion, finely chopped 1 zucchini, finely diced1 tbsp Vegeta (or Dafinka)1 tsp salt1 tsp paprika½ tsp black pepper2 cups crushed tomatoes1 cup water2 cups ground beef4 tbsp olive oilSpaghetti style pasta
Directions:Into a hot pot, put olive oil, add garlic and garlic. Sweat for 3-5 minutes over medium heat. Add ground beef, Vegeta (or Dafinka), salt, black pepper, and paprika, and cook until beef browns. Add bell pepper and zucchini, and crushed tomatoes, bring to boil, and cook for 10 minutes, so that zucchini become soft. Sauce doesn’t need to be thick because it will continue to cook in the oven.
Cook your pasta half way through- really “al-dente” (pasta will continue to cook in the oven).
Put pasta into a ceramic baking dish, pour over the sauce, stir lightly to combine, and bake in 425*F preheated oven for 45 minutes on lower deck.
Optional: After you pull the baking dish out of the oven, you can sprinkle some (or a lot) shredded Parmesan cheese over the top.
Top of the dish will be crunchy, but when you dig in all the aroma and flavors will come together in delicious perfect bite!
