Make-Ahead & Storage:
If you want to prepare this dish ahead of time, you can make it up to the point of baking and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to bake, simply preheat the oven and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to ensure the dish is heated through. Alternatively, you can freeze the assembled, unbaked spaghetti for up to 3 months. To bake from frozen, place the dish in the oven and bake at 350°F for 45–60 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
