freezer friendly baked spaghetti
It seems that this week is “pasta week” – as we have 3 new recipes to share with you! Monday, we shared the Sausage & Ziti Bake and on Friday we have a new Instant Pot pasta recipe for you!

This is a traditional Baked Spaghetti that is freezer friendly and one of our new MyFreezEasy meals! While most of our MyFreezEasy meals don’t require much pre-cooking, this one does…and it’s so worth it! Cook the pasta, brown the ground beef, mix up the egg and cheese, and then layer it all together with the other ingredients and freeze before baking. Then, let it quick thaw and then bake it to perfection!

And my boys love to take this in a little Thermos in their lunchboxes too!
