Baked Spaghetti?

Question

I am looking for a fool-proof way to make baked spaghetti. I've had it at a restaurant-Fazoli's-and it was basically spaghetti in a dish covered in the sauce mixture and covered with mozzarella cheese. I've looked at recipes online and didn't like how it was all put together. So, I'm asking can I just make spaghetti, cover it in mozzarella cheese and bake it? Would this work?

Answer 2

yes but the result might be "grainy"

the best way to make macaroni and cheese is to melt real sharp Cheddar cheese into a basic white sauce:

pour some milk into a pan add salt, pepper and margarine to taste. Heat stirring constantly until near boiling. Thicken with corn starch dissolved in more milk you have prepared in advance. Pour in a little at a time stirring constantly and scraping bottom to get a smooth thick white sauce.

Add crumbled sharp Cheddar cheese until you get the cheesiness you desire.

pour over cooked spaghetti in a greased glass pan. Cover with Cheddar cheese slices for the "crust"

Bake until bubbly and brown on top.
