baked spaghetti

 

This is one of my all-time favorites. It is fantastic to take to potlucks or to a friend who is under the weather. I like eating it the next day as a cold pasta dish. Can't go wrong with this one!

• 1 cup green peppers

• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 clove garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic seasoning)
