Spaghetti Pie

"For the spaghetti crust, use 2 forks, a rubber spaula, or a wooden spoon to firmly press the spaghetti mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Build the edges high enough to hold all the filling."

  1. We loved this! To be honest, I'd rather make up one of these than spend a lot of time on layering a lasagna! I had to sub for the green pepper, didn't realize I was out, and came up with a small 4oz can of diced green chilies. No doubt the flavor of the dish was altered, but I know I can give it 5 stars when at the dinner table we are already talking about the next time I make it, which will be with green peppers. Either way, it's delish! We enjoyed having a light & simple red sauce that didn't overpower the other components. I especially liked that I could make this ahead. Today I refrigerated it til dinnertime & then baked it 25 minutes with foil & then 10 minutes without. But I could easily make a double/triple batch & freeze several pie plates at a time for OAMC. I will be keeping this recipe close. Thanks for sharing "Diva D! Made for Fall 2008 PAC-O.
