Banana Cake & Spaghetti Bake

Hello and welcome to my food blog. I like the bake and cook so I decided I would start a blog about it to share recipes. . . .
Tonight for supper I made Spaghetti bake, Applesauce, Garlic Bread and Banana Cake. I was planning on making rhubarb pie but had a bunch of banana's that needed to be used up so I make that instead.
Spaghetti Bake
16 oz. Spaghetti noodles
3 eggs, beaten
1 T Vegetable oil
1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
2 Cups Mozzarella cheese, divided
dash Garlic powder
Salt & Pepper
12 oz. Jar Spaghetti sauce
Cook spaghetti noodles for 10 minutes in boiling water. Drain.

Meanwhile in another bowl mix together parmesan cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, oil, eggs, garlic powder, salt & Pepper.
Add drained, cooked noodles to this mixture. Pour into a 9X13 greased baking pan. Pour Spaghetti sauce over all. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes take off the foil and sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over dish. Place back in oven til cheese is melted.

Side note: I cut the recipe in half and made a 9X9 dish for us.
