Kelli’s Spaghetti Recipe
Is there anything that screams comfort food more than spaghetti? The tender noodles and the hearty, flavorful sauce combine perfectly with every bite.
All that’s left to do is to fill your plate or bowl full of this goodness. And don’t forget to top with Parmesan cheese! Everyone will love and appreciate how yummy this dish is, and it makes meal planning a breeze.
To get started, grab the simple ingredients needed from the grocery store. Dinner will be ready in no time at all!
How do I know when spaghetti noodles are done cooking?
Knowing when spaghetti noodles are done cooking is crucial for achieving the perfect texture. The ideal way to determine this is by tasting a noodle. When cooked al dente, which means “to the tooth” in Italian, it should be tender yet firm to the bite.
If you’re not confident in your taste test, another method is to break a noodle in half; if the center shows a tiny dot of uncooked pasta, give it another minute or two.
Avoid overcooking the noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy. Always follow the package instructions for cooking time as a guideline for consistent results.

How do I reheat leftover spaghetti?
Reheating leftover spaghetti can be a breeze if you follow the right steps. First, place your spaghetti in a microwave-safe dish and add a splash of water or broth to prevent it from drying. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape—heat on medium power for about one to two minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating.
Transfer your spaghetti to a skillet for stovetop reheating, add some water or broth, and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until warm.
Whichever method you choose, these techniques will help you enjoy your leftover spaghetti as if it were freshly made.
