Spaghetti Casserole Recipe

oz whole wheat spaghetti

olive oil

lb button mushrooms

oregano

tbsp smoked paprika

onion (finely diced)

garlic

oz marinara sauce

Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)

mozzarella

parmesan cheese

parsley (to garnish)

Preheat the oven to 375F. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside in a large baking dish.

Meanwhile, place half of the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse a few times, just until small chopped. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms.

Heat the oil in a large deep pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes.

Once the mushrooms reduced their size to about a half of the amount, stir in the oregano, paprika, onion and garlic. Continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for a couple of minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Pour the sauce over the cooked spaghetti and gently stir to combine; sprinkle with the mozzarella and parmesan. Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
