Baked Spaghetti with Roasted Tomatoes

Cold weather always has me craving warm casseroles like this baked pasta. This dish is super family-friendly and a fun one for kids to help prepare. It reheats really well too, making it a great meal prep item to enjoy throughout the week. Serve this with a big leafy green salad or roasted broccoli and cauliflower for a veggie-full meal that everyone will love!

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and toss gently to coat the tomatoes with oil. Roast for 15 minutes.

2. Whisk the eggs, Parmesan, garlic, onion, oregano and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Add cooked spaghetti and toss to combine.

3. Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees. Place the spaghetti mixture in a 13×9 baking dish. Top with cottage cheese, marinara sauce, half of the roasted tomatoes and mozzarella. Bake for 30 minutes.

4. Once out of the oven, allow the baked spaghetti to sit for at least 10 minutes. Top with the remaining roasted tomatoes and serve.
