Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and set aside.

- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and 2 teaspoons of Italian Seasoning to the skillet, and cook until no pink remains. Turn off heat and drain off extra grease.
- Add the other jar of spaghetti sauce to the skillet and mix together and Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- To assemble the casserole, put the pasta mixture in the prepared baking dish and spread evenly across the bottom.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the pasta mixture.
- Spread the meat mixture evenly on top of the cheese mixture.
- Top with remaining 2 cups of mozzarella and bake in the oven until the casserole is heated through and edges are bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.
Notes
- Storage Instructions
- FRIDGE: Prep the whole casserole, but don't bake it. Make sure to let it cool since the noodles and sauce will be hot, then wrap in plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil and store in the fridge for a few days. When you're ready to bake, just pop it in the oven!
- FREEZER: Follow the same instructions detailed in the refrigeration steps, then freeze for up to 3 months. Once you are ready to eat this casserole, thaw it in the fridge overnight and then bake the next day. You can also bake from frozen, you'll just need to add on some cook time!
- How to Reheat: It is best to reheat this million dollar baked spaghetti in the oven. However, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave if you need to! Just be careful because tomato sauce has a tendency to pop when it heats up. A splattered microwave isn't fun to clean.
