  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the broken spaghetti until al dente.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Sprinkle over the pasta. Bake until bubbly and golden, about 40 to 45 minutes.
