A delightful twist on classic spaghetti, featuring a creamy garlic butter sauce and crispy bacon topping.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden.
Keep an eye on the garlic to avoid burning it, as it can turn bitter.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions, then drain.
Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water for better flavor.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the garlic butter, parmesan cheese, cream, parsley flakes, seasoning salt, and white pepper in the skillet. Mix well.
Toss the spaghetti thoroughly to ensure even coating with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a buttered baking dish.
Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture in the dish.
Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 15 minutes, covered.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Uncover the dish, sprinkle the crispy bacon on top, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Ensure the bacon is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Serve the baked spaghetti hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
