Baked Pizza Spaghetti – A Fusion of Italian Classics!
INGREDIENTS:
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup milk
1 large egg, beaten
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried basil
4 ounces pepperoni sausage, sliced
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Mix 1/2 cup mozzarella, milk, egg, salt, and garlic salt together in a large bowl. Add drained spaghetti and mix until well combined. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Spread spaghetti sauce over the noodle mixture. Sprinkle with oregano and basil, then top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella. Arrange pepperoni over the cheese.
Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
