Best Three Cheese Extra Cheesy Spaghettini Bake
Comfort Food Any Time of Year
I know I’m not really still supposed to be making comfort food in the spring, right? But cheese!! Cheese makes me happy. So when I discovered Ivanhoe cheese is also made by Gaylea Foods, I thought I might give some a try and concoct a meal out of as much cheese as I wanted. We ended up with the best three cheese extra cheesy spaghettini bake, and we found a new family favourite.
Cheese, plus spaghettini, plus tomato sauce equals awesome meal in most kid’s eyes. Thank goodness for that, because let’s just say we have been in a rut this month. When every single meal is met with: “Um can I just have a peanut butter sandwich?” You know you are in trouble. Cheesy spaghettini bake to the rescue.
By the way did you know that March is also Nutrition Month? Cheese is an excellent source of protein that’s high in calcium and B12. And it is very low in sodium so that works well with my diet. This time around I gave Gay Lea’s Ivanhoe Cheese a try. There are numerous varieties of the Ivanhoe aged cheddar and specialty cheeses. Ivanhoe has a great reputation for high quality cheese products. Ivanhoe is the oldest cheese company in Canada. For this recipe we opted for some Monterey Jack and Old cheddar. I can’t wait to try naturally smoked Gouda next. Ivanhoe also offers Kosher and Halal varieties.
Here are the details on how to make this crowd pleaser.

I am a Gay Lea Mom working with Gay Lea Foods coop and with Influencer Central Network, and as such, I am compensated. My opinion is all my own.
Stuff like this always goes over well with my kids. I am definitley going to be making this some point soon!
With all that cheese, my Hubs would be all over it. He is like the cheese monster.
That’s funny Terry! My kids are like that too. LOL.
You had me at “extra cheesy”. That looks amazing, and my family will devour it!
Oh this looks so delicious! This would be a great dinner option in our house, especially as my son loves cheese so much!
You weren’t kidding about extra cheesy! This definitely looks like something my family would devour 🙂
Comfort food is always good and your spaghettini looks delicious! My family would be all over it and I love one dish meals. Add a salad and I’m good to go.
I love foods cooked with cheese of any type and so do the kids. When the grands are going to be here for meals, I always look for recipes that include cheese not only because they like it but because they will only drink milk with chocolate in it and I worry they don’t get enough calcium. Thanks again for sharing, I’d love to fix this.
This sounds like a great recipe and a welcome relief. We like spaghetti but having variations are great so we don’t get tired of it. My husband buys spaghetti pasta each time he is out and I have so much now that it is coming out my ears. Having a different recipe to use the pasta is great.
We do a lot of variations also, partly to keep it fresh and partly to keep the kids open minded about eating new things.
Our whole family loves cheese! I’ve been looking for new recipes to try because my kids are getting bored at suppertime. I’m going to make this.
Yum I love cheese! I try to limit it in my diet though. I haven’t heard of this brand before, will have to see if my store carries it.
That sounds really delicious right now. My daughter and I would go to work on a dinner like this!
This looks like a delicious recipe. I am sure my family would love it. I will have to try this recipe this weekend.
You want to hear something funny? There’s a little area near my house called Ivanhoe. Your post made me think of it! Anyway, the recipe looks great!
I love Monterey Jack! I always use it for my jalapeno poppers! And cheddar too!
Oh, how delicious! It has been ages and ages since I’ve made a spaghetti bake. The cheesier, the better. 🙂
My husband is a big fan of this kind of dishes so I make it for him every so often. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I will try this soon.
Yum! This looks and sounds absolutely amazing! My kids love this type of thing so I’m sure We’d all really enjoy this!
That looks so good. We were just talking about spaghetti at my house, it is a split vote. My husband and I dislike spaghetti and the kids love it. This looks like a great twist on a old classic. I will have to give it a try.
This looks really delicious! I love really good cheeses, especially a good, aged sharp cheddar! YUM!
You had me at three cheese! Oh this looks so delicious, I bet my boys would eat this up with some peppers and veggies snuck in.
If my s/o’s boys liked cheese more, I’d make this for them in a heartbeat. I still might have to try it though just with a few modifications.
