Spaghetti al Forno



                        Spaghetti al forno


This dish here is actually pretty easy and quick and you can make it ahead. If you want to take
this to the next level, make your own Pasta. It's actually pretty easy and fast if you have a Pasta
maker. It can be worth the money if you eat Pasta as much as we do. I don't make it all the time,
but sometimes I just feel like it. Lasagne is even faster to make since you just have one big piece.

This is what you need:

- Spaghetti, cooked after instructions

- 1 lbs ground beef

- 2 mild italian sausages, squeezed out

- 1 can diced Tomatoes

- 1 glass of your preferred marinara sauce. (I use the organic one from Aldi)

- Bechamel Sauce (or, if it really has to go fast, 1 glass of your preferred Alfredo sauce since its    actually the same. See me post for this) 

- Parmesan cheese

This is how you do it:

Cook the Spaghetti. 

Fry in a big stainless steel pan the squeezed out italian sausage and the ground beef till its nice and crumbly. I season it with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme and rosemary a bit so its
not going to bold. Then I add my diced Tomatoes and the marinara sauce. I usually wash the glass 
out with a bit of heavy cream. So you get that extra creaminess in it. Bolognese Sauce done. 

Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.

For the Bechamel Sauce just add some unsalted butter in a sauce pan and add enough flour so its completely soaked. Let it cook for a min.. Then add enough milk that its getting nice and creamy.
Season with salt and nutmeg. Then I added a good handful of shredded Parmesan cheese. If you don't want to make the Bechamel Sauce, you can simple use one of your preferred Alfredo Sauces. For
better instructions, go down my recipes for the Bechamel Sauce recipe (pictures added there). 

Once the Spaghetti are cooked, drain and transfer them into the Bechamel Sauce (or Alfredo) and stir well.

Use a baking dish and add from the Marinara sauce (Bolognese) on the bottom. Then add the 
Spaghetti on top and finish with the Bolognese sauce on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan and put in the
oven for 5-10 min. 



Serve and enjoy. You can add here also vegetables if you like. Mushrooms going good with it.

Guten Appetit
