Baked Pizza Spaghetti

 Spaghetti is tossed with pizza sauce, meats and cheeses, for the ultimate baked pasta.

Fall is in full force and the temperatures have dropped quickly. With all this cold and dreary weather, it seems like my body wants to go into hibernation mode. Naps, blankets, tea/hot cocoa and hearty foods. So casseroles like this one, are right up my alley this month. I love the ease of baked pastas. I love the crispy melty cheese on top, the tender pasta and hearty meat, all cooked in sauce. HEAVEN!! 

The kids absolutely love this "pizza-ghetti" as they liked to call it. Now that they are teenagers, I need something low cost but filling. They like to eat me out of a house and home. Super simple and very reminiscent of lasagna, this recipe is sure to give your family the fuel it needs to keep going during the colder months of the year!







Baked Pizza Spaghetti

12 oz uncooked spaghetti
1 lb  Italian pork sausage
2- 14 oz jars pizza sauce
3/4 cup diced pepperoni
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil, if desired

Heat oven to 350ºF. Spray 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large pot, cook and drain pasta as directed on package, using minimum cook time. Return spaghetti to the pot.

While the pasta is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage until no longer pink; drain. Add to the pot with, spaghetti, pizza sauce and pepperoni.
   
In medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and eggs. Spoon half of spaghetti mixture into the baking dish. Dollop with ricotta mixture; spread evenly over top. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining spaghetti mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  
Bake uncovered 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly. Garnish with basil.

    I'm almost afraid to make it because I KNOW that The Man will demand it all the time. Maybe I'll just start out with quadrupling the recipe and freezing some! Looks so good.

    This sounds really lovely, and a bit simpler than a traditional lasagna too.

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa
