Spaghetti Loaf Recipes

SPAGHETTI LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line a loaf pan with foil (I like the release foil).
• In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the flour and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, or until it smells a little nutty.
• With a whisk, gradually mix in the milk. This is when you decided how much milk you think it will need.
• Bring sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, remove from the heat and add the cheese, salt, and pepper.
• Pour about 1/3 tablespoons of the sauce on the bottom of the loaf pan then top evenly with 1/3 of the pasta sauce and then the pasta itself.
• Repeat this two more times, cover the pan with more foil then bake in oven for 20-30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, slice, and serve.
• This is very good next to a italian breaded chicken breast. MMMMmmmm!
