Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding cooked vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the spaghetti mixture for added flavor and nutrition. If you prefer a lower-calorie version, substitute half of the cheese with nutritional yeast. Ensure the spaghetti is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the bake, which can make it soggy. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free spaghetti.
