Recipe Box, Spaghetti Bundt!
Here’s a fun way to jazz up your weeknight spaghetti dinner,
bake your spaghetti in a bundt pan
and top it with sausage and marinara “frosting!”
My favorite way to make spaghetti is to prepare it in advance
so all I have to do is pop it in the oven when it’s close to dinner time,
such as Spaghetti Cassoulet and Ready Spaghetti
When I saw a recipe for spaghetti baked in a bundt pan,
I couldn’t resist!
This is kind of like macaroni and cheese meets lasagna
and turns into a party!
Spaghetti noodles are first mixed with a cheesy concoction
of eggs, fontina, Italian blend cheeses, ricotta, and alfredo sauce
Beat the eggs, then add the cheeses and Alfredo sauce
Stir to combine
Add cooked spaghetti and season
Stir again
Then transfer pasta to a well greased bundt pan
Bake at 425 degrees for 35-40 minutes
I bought a silicone bundt pan last year
and let me tell you, it is magic!
Cakes just slide out perfectly!
While the “cake” is baking, brown the sausage
Drain sausage when browned and add the marinara sauce
I used Classico Cabernet Marinara
Let sauce simmer, covered, until serving
Note: I assembled the spaghetti bundt early in the day, covered it and put it in the refrigerator until dinner time. I made the sauce around 5 p.m. and let it simmer for a couple hours until we were ready to eat. About 35-45 minutes before you want to eat, bake spaghetti and then let rest in the pan for 5 minutes before plating
“Frost” cake with some of the sausage Marinara sauce
Cut into wedges to serve and top with more sauce if desired
This got a big thumbs up from all the boys, and Big E had 2 helpings!
This doesn’t take any more time to make than any casserole,
the the wow presentation makes it such fun to serve!
Spaghetti Bundt

- Place eggs in large mixing bowl and whisk. Add ricotta, Alfredo sauce and cheeses. Stir to combine.
- Add drained spaghetti, season with garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
- Transfer spaghetti mix to a well greased bundt pan. Can be refrigerated at this point for baking later.
- Brown Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring and breaking down into crumbles with a wooden spoon as it’s cooking. Drain well on paper towels. Place marinara sauce into a sauce pan and add sausage. Heat mixture over medium heat until hot, then reduce heat, cover and let simmer while cake is baking.
