Spaghetti Bake With Meat Sauce 3 Cheeses

---

I made this this week and we all liked it. It's from the big book of casseroles by maryana vollstedt. I substituted ground chicken for the beef,used linquini, and upped the herbs to a half teaspoon each.the pasta absorbs the sauce while baking so it is really tasty.
