Love Pasta and Cheese? Try This TikTok Baked Spaghetti Recipe for Dinner This Weekend

If you’re a fan of pasta and cheese, you won’t want to miss out on the TikTok Baked Spaghetti recipe that’s taken social media by storm. With fall approaching, it’s the perfect time to whip up comforting dishes that fill your home with delightful aromas. Plus, we all appreciate quick and easy recipes, right?

TikTok has become a treasure trove for innovative food ideas, and when I mention that I found this recipe on the platform, my kids are already 75% more excited than if I pulled out a traditional cookbook. When my daughter introduced me to this baked spaghetti dish, we couldn’t wait to give it a try. She shares my love for pasta, and the best part? This recipe is super easy to make without the hassle of pre-cooking and draining pasta—fewer dishes mean less mess!

All you’ll need are some spaghetti, your favorite sauce, onion, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and mozzarella cheese. I loved how budget-friendly this was, and it can easily feed my family of four for several nights. To cater to different tastes, I opted to add some ground turkey since some of my kids love meat in their pasta while others prefer it meatless.

Simple Steps to Make Baked Spaghetti

The steps are simple: break the spaghetti in half, toss in a jar of sauce, add chopped onion (we skipped this at home), seasonings, olive oil, and cover with water—around three cups, depending on your baking dish. This recipe is incredibly flexible; feel free to throw in veggies like green peppers or mushrooms for an extra twist.

I baked it at 350°F for about 20 minutes, stirred it, and then baked it for another 20 minutes. After checking for doneness, I topped it with mozzarella cheese and baked until it was beautifully bubbly. We love garnishing it with grated parmesan and fresh herbs from my garden (which I may or may not have neglected a bit).

This dish is basically an easy lasagna that makes your home smell like a charming Italian eatery. We all enjoyed it and will definitely be making it again, although my daughter humorously noted that it wasn’t quite as life-changing as the TikTok Baked Feta Pasta. Still, you can’t get much easier than this for a hearty meal.

Perfect Pairings and Cleanup

If you’re craving something cheesy and delicious that pairs perfectly with garlic bread, add this recipe to your weekend plans. It also serves as a fantastic side for chicken, veal, or eggplant parmesan. Next time, I’m planning to make a big batch of meatballs or try using chicken for a different flavor.

This method is so much simpler than the traditional way of cooking pasta and heating sauce. Cleanup is a breeze—just cover the dish with foil and pop it in the fridge. Just the other night, I heard my son sneak down for a late-night snack, heating up the leftovers, which made me happy since he usually opts for cereal or ice cream.

Make this pasta the next time you want to impress your family or treat yourself. Just don’t let on how easy it was—act a little worn out so they won’t mind helping with the cleanup.
