Cook spaghetti noodles based on the package directions. Drain and return to the pan, mixing with the remaining tomato sauce mixture.

Tap butter slices on the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Next, top with the remaining spaghetti noodles and the remaining butter right on top.

Pour the meat sauce evenly over the top and top with the remaining shredded cheese.
