For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage. Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini to the meat sauce for extra nutrients and flavor. If you don't have cottage cheese, ricotta cheese can be used as a substitute. To prevent the spaghetti from sticking together while waiting, toss it with a tablespoon of olive oil after draining. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

Jan 18, 2024I found that 45 minutes uncovered was better to melt the cheese, maybe it depends on the oven.
