My name is Alexia. I have lived in NE Oregon for most of my life, and love it here because it's where my family is. I have 3 younger sisters, 3 younger brothers, and a million cousins. I live with my husband and our three boys, and our dog Norman. My family is Greek/ Cajun/ Mexican, so food is very important to us;-) I love cooking and creating new recipes, my kids, my family, wine, painting, and everything retro! I am a dialysis technician. I love my job and my patients. I am currently studying to be a nurse. I love school, and so far it has been good to me... Dean's List or Honor Roll each term! Between work, school, my husband, our kids and all of their activities and adventures, I don't have a ton of time to blog. I love sharing recipes, so I make time for it when I can. You can follow me on Pinterest for more ideas and inspiration (thanks to those of you that have pinned my recipes!): pinterest.com/lexisamom .

Baked Spaghetti

One of my friends brought this to me and my family after I had Dexter. Everyone loved it and I have made it a few times since then. The one that was brought to me was more basic, but I had to add more ingredients... because you know me: I'm a glamour recipe girl;-)

It is so easy and the recipe can be teased without screwing it up. Good luck!

Boil 16oz of spaghetti noodles according to the directions on the packet. I used whole wheat linguine but you can use whatever kind you would like and it wohld still work.

Prep:
1 white onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch spinach cut into chiffonaude ribbons
3 tbs fresh parsley, chopped
3 tbs fresh Sweet Basil, chopped
3-4 whole eggs
4 tbs butter
2 cups cheese total, grated (I used feta, mozzarella, and parmesan)
Salt and pepper

Toss all of the ingredients with the pasta in a large bowl. Press into a 9×13 baking dish and top with 2-3 cups marinara sauce (I can homemade tomato sauce every year so that is what I used. Store bought or fresh homemade work too). Top with a little cheese.

Bake at 365 for about 45 minutes.

It can be prepared and frozen ahead of time. Thaw before baking.
