Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey bacon.

This recipe freezes well, so it's a good dish to double or triple to stock your freezer. If freezing, I'd recommend slightly undercooking the pasta (just reduce cooking time by a minute or two). Wrap in freezer paper and/or foil and label with "Baked Spaghetti: Thaw, then cook for 30 minutes at 350ºF".
