Baked Spaghetti in Garlic Bread

Oh we have a winner!!!  Talk about crowd pleaser!  This was so yummy and everyone loved it.  I thought I needed to put more sauce in it, but everyone else thought it was great just the way it was.  I guess that goes back to me being picky...

At first I became a little frustrated while making this, but that's only because I couldn't get the dough to work properly.  I consider myself new to cooking when it comes to a few techniques and that's hard to admit.  The actual recipe was a little vague on exactly what dough to use, but someone had commented saying they used refrigerated dough and it worked fine.  To my surprise, when I got to the store nothing said loaf dough.  I went for the next best thing and got two things of refrigerated pizza dough... I'm sure someone is laughing at me right about now.  Anyway, when I started getting everything set up I realized that one dough wasn't going to be enough and so I opened the second only to discover that they don't really knead together very well.  I pulled and stretched and tossed this dough like it was going out of style, but it kept wanting to go back to its original form.  After walking away for a minute (out of frustration) I came back to dough that was a little more willing to cooperate.  Once I got past that, everything was incredibly easy to put together.

My son instructed me that I definitely need to make this more often and I agree.  Finally a recipe that I don't feel I need to change.  We all highly enjoyed this.  I was going to also serve a side salad, but forgot to get it at the store.  It was fine all by itself though and very filling as well.  I'm going to sleep well tonight that's for sure.  Oh and if you're curious, it goes really well with a bottle of Resling :)
