Cheesy Spaghetti Bake

When La and I became roommates, and discovered our shared love of food, I soon came to learn that she had something that I didn't: loads of family recipe comfort foods. I'm in the process of tasting as many of these as possible, since I seem to have missed a certain part of my southern heritage in this department. Like the fact that, until a few months ago, I had never had the classic green bean casserole. GASP.
This is one of our absolute favorites. So much so that we had it for Roommate Christmas this year (along with St. Germaine and vodka gimlets. Heavenly). It's the perfect comfort food, and we think that it might even be better the next day. Always a good thing.
Since I finally got a copy of the recipe, I thought it best to post it here, so I'll never have to worry about accidentally deleting the email.
