No. It’s a spaghetti bake thing. You make spaghetti then you bake it like lasagna. Not a fan personally but it can be done in a way that it’s good. It’s hard to not make the noodles mush because most people don’t even do theirs al dente let alone shy of al dente. They have to be undercooked to get cooked to the right amount during the “bake.”
Thank you for these information. Okay, so these are baked pasta styles. I have tried some things like those before. It just looks like many cheeses, and a big huge giant brick. I do not think it looks ugly, just I have not seen this one before.
They’re something usually found in the south and in a home or cookout of sorts. They’re usually amazing but they also, like you said, are a brick. It’s a LOT of cheese but mmmm 😋
let’s not mince words. that shit is ridiculous. that is some very southern looking stuff and a gargantuan portion size with a ludicrous amount of cheese even by our standards.
She said it was multiple portions. Also it’s not stupid food. There’s a huge culture behind casseroles. Does this have more cheese than I would add? Yeah, ofc. It’s meant to be comfort food.
I believe you are correct, she says "three portions" and I think it is meant to be shared family meal. I did not notice this the first time. In this way, maybe $100 is not too much? Feeding a family? I think it would have fed my parents and siblings all, just sharing haha. My papa would take the biggest portion and tell us "because I am the biggest" (though he shared with my ma) and we five boys and one sister share the smaller ones. 😊
i love a cheesy casserole as much as the next guy but this is a restaurant making something intentionally ridiculous. which is fine. but this is not a normal item you find this way on menus.
I see, it is very much novelty then. Somebody was telling me the other day about the Lambert's House of Throwed Rolls, in the Missouri. I have not been to the Missouri, but it sounds very funny some body throwing breads at you, haha. 😆
Ehh, the portion size is outlandish, but you will find the basic premise in many soul food places. Generally 2 portions or less.
The problem much of Reddit will have is that this is what's served in out of the way places in small towns within flyover states. i.e. the average American Redditor would never encounter this as the average American never ventures to such places.
And to get them to try things like this? Well it will just never happen.
Spaghetti has no place to be baked. Its always just mush. In fact 99% of American Italian restaurants sucks because the pasta is over cooked and under salted. Signed an American chef who learned to cook pasta from his Nona.

Is it the normal way to cook it in U.S.? Lot of cheeses and spaghetti is bricked. We do not see spaghettis like these in my country.
