Baked Spaghetti

This is a variation of a Martha Stewart recipe. I loved it because it was simple, had few ingredients and was delicious!

Serves 6

Ingredients:
3/4 Ib whole wheat spaghetti
1 onion, diced
1 Ib lean ground beef or turkey
2 garlic cloves
2 - 15 oz cans of diced tomatoes with green chilies ( I used the tomatoes with green chilies because I had them in the pantry and it added some spice to the sauce, but you could use regular diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes or even whole tomatoes, if you wish!)
1 tsp ground oregano
2 c mozzarella cheese
1/4 c grated Parmesan for serving
s&p to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add spaghetti and cook to almost Al dente. You don't want your pasta too soft because it will bake in the oven as well.
3. Brown the beef in a large skillet and add onions. Cook until meat is not pink and onions are soft. Add the oregano just before the meat has finished cooking to add the most flavor.
4. Puree the tomatoes and garlic in a food processor or blender and set aside.
5. Combine the meat, pasta, sauce and 1 c. of the mozzarella cheese. Stir to incorporate.
6. Spray a 9x13 casserole pan with cooking spray and add pasta to it. Sprinkle the remainder of the mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese is slightly brown and crispy.
8. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese for serving (optional).
