    What you need:

    • Uncooked spaghetti noodles - they will cook in the liquid in the pan. This is a no boil recipe!
    • Chicken broth - liquid that allows the noodles to cook
    • Rotel tomatoes - don't drain them as we need the moisture in this recipe
    • Cream cheese - the cheese part of the recipe
    • Garlic - adds flavor
    • Fully cooked Cajun flavor ring sausage - our Cajun meat
    • Cajun seasoning - providing that southern flavor

    How to make this baked spaghetti casserole:

    • Spray pan - the most important part so the noodles do not stick

    Can you bake dry pasta?

    Yes, this is a dump and go recipe being baked, so it is much easier for clean up and requires no stovetop boiling! It does take a bit of time to cook these noodles compared to boiling the noodles, but it is well worth it being a dump and go recipe.

    Do I need to cover the dish?

    Yes, this dish is using uncooked noodles, which needs all the moisture possible to cook. Cover with tinfoil or an oven safe lid. Only bake uncovered if using cooked noodles.

    Variations of southern baked spaghetti:

    • Different noodles - you can make this with egg noodles, angel hair or with any other noodles you see fit. You might have to adjust to cook time though.
    • Vegetarian - baked spaghetti without meat is also an option. Just omit the meat parts and add other types of proteins you see fit. You can put vegetables in place of meat if you would like.
    • Vegan - making baked spaghetti without cheese and meat is more difficult, but if you have the meat and cheese substitutes on hand, go for it! You can even make your own vegan parmesan at home.
    • Add meatballs - if you want extra meat in your diet, Cajun meatballs taste delicious in this!
    • Different cheeses - you can make this with feta cheese on top if you want more of a zesty flavor. Making this spaghetti dish dairy free is also an option if using dairy free cheeses that actually do melt.
    • Other meat - you can use chicken or turkey as a meat option if you are looking to add more meat to your diet. You do not have to cook the chicken first.

    Can this be made ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make southern spaghetti and let it cool. Then, store in the fridge until you are ready to reheat and eat it. You can do the same with leftovers.

    Can you freeze baked spaghetti casserole?

    Yes, you can! Just let it cool after cooking, and wrap in saran wrap, and then tin foil. The saran wrap will help conceal the flavors so it does not start tasting like the freezer, just make sure to remove it before baking. To reheat, let thaw in the fridge for about 24 hours. Then, bake at 400 degrees until heated throughout.
