When you're in the middle of the week, it can be easy to fall into a pattern of the same dishes and the same stressors. Weeknight Spaghetti Casserole doesn't just break those patterns; it comforts and restores you the way no typical pasta can. Spaghetti cooked to a tender al dente directly in a creamy, hearty sauce filled with fresh veggies and infused with chicken flavor; it's like chicken soup in casserole form! Turkey provides the savory, and Colby-Jack topping brings melty, sharp goodness to each bite. Weeknight Spaghetti Casserole makes relaxation the special of the day!
