  4. Stir in the sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture into the spaghetti mixture.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
