- In a greased baking dish, layer half of the spaghetti mixture, then the meat sauce, and top with remaining spaghetti.

- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Allow your casserole to sit for 5-10 minutes after baking for clean slices. Opt for freshly shredded mozzarella over pre-shredded for a creamier melt. Consider adding extra marinara when reheating to maintain moisture.
