Have you ever cooked Spaghetti right from the pot instead of the oven?

That's the only way I cook it. I boil my water with some salt in it to soften the water and give the noodles some flavor, then I heat up my sauce with hamburger or turkey meat in it and serve it. I usually have salad and Texas toast or breadsticks. I'm the pasta expert so my kids always want seconds. I've never baked it, I must know how you do that.

Hm, I've never eaten it any other way. You like them baked? How do you do that? What do you add? I always cook them and then just add any kind of sauce I can think of and then some cheese and yummy :)

This is an interesting question, because I've never heard of baking spaghetti in the oven and didn't know that this could be done! Here in the UK boiling it in water (usually for about 12 minutes) on the hob/stove is the normal way of making it. How do you cook it in the oven? Is there any advantage (health or otherwise) of one method over the other?

Hey Hey That is usually how I make my Spaghetti on top of the stove and that is if i want it to be fast and simple . When i make meat sauce or meat balls i will bake it and add some chees to the top . Bake for like 20 mins . there are so many types of noodles too LOL .

Hi cream97, I have never heard of cooking spaghetti in the oven, I normally cook my sapaghetti in boiling water. Tamara

I did not realise you cook spaghetti in the oven.I have only ever cooked it on the stove and I have found out if you put a little cooking oil in the boiling water it stops it from sticking and it tastes nice as well.Spaghetti is so versatile you can put fish,meat and any vegetable you like and any flavouring,You can make a real tasty meal out of it even it you use up your leftovers it is scrummy .

I have never had spaghetti baked in the oven. The only way I have ever made it is to boil the noodles and then add the sauce. The baked recipe sounds interesting, I may try it next time we have spaghetti.

What a strange question. I rarely ever make a baked spaghetti I almost always cook it on the stove. I have made baked spaghetti it is just not something I do all the time.

I've never baked spaghetti. I usually cooked them like regular pasta. You boil it in water until it is al dente (right amount of firmness). Thats how it is usually done, as far as I know. Separately, you make the sauce, which you later pour on the spaghetti. I guess some people can put the cooked noodles on a baking pan, pour sauce and cheese on it and baked it, like you would make a lasagna. Maybe that is what you mean, but usually spaghetti is cooked in a pot of boiling water.

Yeah, oftentimes.

I've...never baked spaghetti O_O I've always just boiled it in water on stove top...in fact, it never occurred to me that some people bake it. I've always just boiled it, served it up...and then put tomato sauce and parmesan on...

Definately. That is mostly how we eat it here. In fact I don't think I have ever had baked spaghetti, I have had baked Lasagnia, baked mannicotti, and baked mostaccoli, but I have never had baked sphaghetti before. I am sure it is good, I have just never had it.

i always cook mine on the stove top. i make my meat sauce, cook the spaghetti in another pot, drain it & it's ready to serve adding sauce.

I have never actually made spaghetti in the oven at home. It is usually in a pot, even if I make the sauce myself. I know a lot of places cook the individual spaghetti in the oven, for some reason, I just have never done so. Though, does sound like it would be a little easier (not having to watch the sauce to ensure it does not splatter everywhere...) Will try it next time I make it. :)

Even if I am fully aware that spaghetti could be cooked in the oven, my mom and I personally haven't done this because we are used to cooking spaghetti on the traditional stove. I have tasted and eaten lasagna and baked macaroni before and I loved both of them. As Christmas season and holiday festivities are here, spaghetti is sure to be seen on the family's kitchen table. There are several ingredients which have been added eventually to the old recipe of spaghetti, namely edible mushroom heads, condensed milk, corned beef, and corn. I personally prefer the spaghetti with condensed milk and corn because it tastes sweeter than the usual style and admittedly, I'm a sweet tooth who loves sweets. And for this season, I will undoubtedly have a lot of servings on salads, spaghetti, ice cream, cakes, and pastries. I am looking forward for this feast of great and mouth-watering foods I guess I will just have to amend with my diet afterwards. Anyway, happy holidays, friend.

i had been cooking my spaghetti using the stove...i remember i cooked it using the oven just once and i just baked it so the cheese will melt...i love my spaghetti cooked using the stove, your right we can add up lots of spices we want...normally i add cream on it...

I have never hear of any other way to cook spaghetti than to boil it in a pot. I guess you can cook it anyway, but for me the traditional way I know of cooking spaghetti is boiling it in a lot of salted water, then draining it and add your sauce to it. I guess it can be baked after it is boiled, real interesting, I thought everyone boiled their spaghetti and eat it like that.

sorry but never heared that spagheti cooked in the stove.but there is noodles cooked in the stove and yes you can select any sauce you desire,try noodles with tomatoe sauce and tuna fish hmmm yummy.

I've never heard of cooking Spaghetti in the oven. I'm Sicilian and I've always cooked Spaghetti in a pot on the stove. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

we always eat spaghetti cooked from the stove rather than from the oven. and it's true that you can add any ingredients that you want. in the philippines, spaghetti is prepared with hotdog slices mixed in the sauce.
