  3. Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and flavors meld. Add fresh basil if desired.

Combine Spaghetti and Sauce
4. Preheat your smoker to 225°F.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the prepared sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

Smoke the Spaghetti
6. Transfer the spaghetti mixture into a smoker-safe baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
7. Place the dish in the smoker and cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
