Notes

These bowls keep well for about 3-4 days in the fridge. To reheat, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes. You can also prepare the spaghetti mixture a day in advance and bake when ready to serve. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for spice. For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese and sauce.
