Baked Spaghetti Casserole

Chef #680599's Note:

This is a great way to turn plain old spaghetti into a treat! This works with any type pasta you like. I just usually use the thin spaghetti because that's what my husband likes. Sometimes I use ziti and call it "Baked Ziti"!

I have made this a couple of times and my finickiest eater loved it! I used shredded mozzarella-provolone cheese combo, and vermicelli.
