Instructions

  1. 1. In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup ghee over medium heat. Add 6 chopped Sambar onions, cooking until the onions are softened.
  2. 2. Stir in 1 diced orange carrot, 2 diced organically grown green capsicum, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, and 1 minced garlic clove. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. 3. Add 2 cups of finely chopped tomatoes and 2 cups of herby tomato pizza and pasta sauce to the skillet. Rinse the sauce containers with a little water and add that to the mixture. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  4. 4. Add 1 cup of sliced white shimeji mushrooms to the sauce and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
  5. 5. Meanwhile, cook 1 1/4 lbs of spaghetti pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the spaghetti in cold water to stop the cooking process.
  6. 6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. 7. In each dish, layer cooked spaghetti, a generous amount of sauce, and a layer of grated cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
  8. 8. If not baking immediately, cover and refrigerate the casseroles. When ready to bake, place the casseroles in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. 9. Remove from the oven and let the casseroles rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty baked spaghetti casserole!
