Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, the first step is to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, I like to grab my large mixing bowl and combine the cooked spaghetti with olive oil. This ensures that the pasta remains moist and prevents it from sticking together. Next, I beat the eggs in a separate bowl before mixing them into the spaghetti. This will help bind everything together once we bake it. The smell of the olive oil blending with the warm pasta is just heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
