Add broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach and/or your favorite vegetable(s) to the spaghetti mix. We recommend sautéing first.
Swap the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese or crumbled tofu.
For a little extra flavor, top your pasta bake with fresh herbs like oregano or basil.
If serving to a large crowd, cover the baking dish with foil (spray the foil first to prevent it sticking to the cheesy top) and keep warm in a 200°F oven until time to serve.
