For an extra layer of flavor, brown 1/2 pound of ground beef or Italian sausage and add it to the sauce. Experiment with different types of cheese! Provolone, Gruyere, or a blend of Italian cheeses would also be delicious. Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness. To prevent the spaghetti from sticking together, toss it with a tablespoon of olive oil after draining. If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large oven-safe skillet.
