Pinspiration in the Kitchen- Baked Spaghetti

Pinterest has inspired me to try new recipes. Not once a month, or just for special occasions.  But every single week.  My husband and son are often my taste testers, giving me a thumbs up or down for each new recipe I put on their plates.  I have decided to start sharing my "winning" Pinterest inspired recipes once a week on my blog- Pinspiration in the Kitchen.  When I try a recipe and it is deemed a winner, I repin it to my Recipes I MUST Make Again... & Again board.  Feel free to click on the link and start following my board.

This week's winner is Baked Spaghetti pinned from allrecipes.com- http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-spaghetti/detail.aspx


To make this recipe a little healthier I used low fat cottage cheese, whole grain spaghetti, and just 2 cups of mozzarella instead of the 4 cups suggested in the recipe.  We found that the 2 cups of mozzarella was plenty.  4 cups may have been overkill.  


This dish was a hit with us all around.  Delicious and easy, and it made a big enough pan that I was able to freeze half of it for a another dinner in the near future.  This would also be a great dish to bring to a potluck or a family gathering, or to make ahead and freeze.
