    Awesome looking dish. Easy to do and great results. Our two favourites are penne and rotini for the pasta ingredient. The grandkids still like to slurp the long noodles. 
    If you use foil take out pans, this stuff freezes very well and takes about 2 hours to cook from frozen on a 400ºF or so indirect egg.

    Great looking pot of food!!   We do the same thing with chicken or shrimp.

    That looks excellent. If I may be so bold- try it with a deep dish pizza crust. Even better with day old sketty if you have leftovers. 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Looking good there buddy.  I've never done it like that, but I sure will give it a try next time.

    A dish like that, you might want to try homemade noodles take it even further next level.

    Looks great...a couple words of caution. When finished cooking, make sure to remove the leftovers from the cast iron skillet. In other words, don't cover and put the skillet and leftovers in the frig. The high acidity and moisture is not good for the cast...don't ask me how I know. Also, the leftovers will quickly take on the iron taste. Love what you did.....have done it myself a couple of times. Secound time I applied the above. Hope this is helpful and or all is consumed.

    It was baked spaghetti.  So it was solid, but unspectacular.  Hit the spot, though.


    I'd love to get my hands on some old Italian Granny's sauce recipe, though.

    Looks good For some reason I love leftover spaghetti straight from the fridge. 

    If you're looking to amp up the flavor a bit, try setting the skillet on the PS (with an air gap) next time. you won't lose the meatball drippings that way.
