Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Spaghetti noodles |
| 1 | Bacon |
| 1 | Green pepper |
| 1 | Onion |
| 1/2 | Fresh mushrooms |
| 1 | Tomatoes |

Instructions:
-
Boil Water and Add Spaghetti: Begin by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
-
Prepare Bacon: While the spaghetti is cooking, slice the bacon into 1-inch pieces. In a separate skillet or pan, fry the bacon until it reaches a crispy texture. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large pan, add the cooked and strained spaghetti along with all the other ingredients: diced green pepper, chopped onion, sliced fresh mushrooms, and diced tomatoes. Mix everything together until well-combined.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the spaghetti mixture into a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Add Mozzarella Cheese: After 45 minutes of baking, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the spaghetti. Continue baking for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese is perfectly melted and golden, remove the spaghetti à Lucille from the oven. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delightful dish!
Tips:
- For an extra kick of flavor, you can experiment with different types of cheese or add some crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by incorporating your favorite vegetables or protein options.
