  3. Add half of the meat sauce on top, and then layer half of the mozzarella cheese.
  4. Repeat the layers with the remaining spaghetti, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
  5. Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Baking

  3. Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Cook spaghetti al dente to prevent overcooking.
