Baked Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

1. Preheat Oven
Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (9×13 works well).

2. Cook the Pasta
Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Brown the Meat
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.

4. Sauté the Veggies
Add diced onion, green and red bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

5. Make the Sauce
Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15–20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

6. Combine Pasta & Sauce
