Spaghetti casserole is a hearty and comforting dish that blends Italian-inspired flavors with a convenient one-pan approach. Typically made with cooked spaghetti, marinara or tomato sauce, ground beef or Italian sausage, and a blend of cheeses such as mozzarella and Parmesan, it is baked until bubbly and golden. Variations may include added vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for added nutrients. While rich in carbohydrates from the pasta, it provides protein from the meat and dairy, making it a balanced meal when moderately portioned. However, it can be high in saturated fats and sodium due to the cheese, meat, and store-bought sauces, depending on preparation. Opting for whole-grain pasta, lean protein, and low-sodium sauce can boost its nutritional profile. This casserole’s versatility and satisfying flavors have made it a favorite across American kitchens, combining Italian culinary traditions with modern convenience.
