Who doesn’t love the occasional pasta dish? It’s such a comfort food – no matter what kind of pasta you use and what you pair it with. It’s the sort of dish you can pour into a bowl and enjoy on the table with a significant other while watching your favorite TV show or just as a regular night’s meal. And there is a recipe that people are going wild over – the baked spaghetti with shitake mushrooms and tomato sauce! Crazy easy to make, and a dish you will enjoy on any occasion and in any mood!
What to Buy From the Store
Vermicelli pasta – or what most people might call ‘thin pasta’ will do the trick just right. From there, purchase some onions, garlic, Italian sausage, Shitake mushrooms, fresh parsley, parmesan cheese, and virgin olive oil. Those are what you might call the essentials for the recipe. Then you’d need the correct seasoning, marinara, eggs, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and some red pepper flakes to complete the baked spaghetti recipe.
Making Baked Spaghetti – Simple
Cooking the entire dish might be more simple than gathering the ingredients. Heat some water and cook the pasta. Then cook the Italian sausage and the mushroom, onions and spices. You can add the red pepper flakes and the minced garlic at this point. Next, you will simmer the marinara with the sausage and seasoning. Make sure to toss the pasta with eggs and olive oil. Once you’ve put it in the casserole, add the mixture and throw it in the oven. Sprinkle some parmesan on top, and viola!
The Choice of Sauce
People are always very particular about the sauce they add to any dish – pasta dishes are no different. But the beauty of this recipe is that it’s up to the person cooking it. Wither way – whether you choose homemade tomato sauce for the dish or prefer to buy some high-grade jar from the store – your meal will be delicious!
With or Without Mushrooms
Adding mushrooms to the baked spaghetti dish is also the dealer’s choice. If you’re not into having mushrooms with your pasta – don’t add any. But if you appreciate a tasty mushroom – Shitake is the way to go! They are full of flavor and will add a kick to your already delicious recipe!
Baked spaghetti might just yet be the best comfort food there is. This recipe is full of flavor, and the ingredients can be added, or not, and it will still taste delicious. Give it a try next time you want something easy yet incredibly tasty – the perfect meal for any occasion!
