The taste is predictable, it’s the presentation that makes it great! Spaghetti Pie is best prepared from ‘left-over’ spaghetti and home made meat sauce. It can also be made using bottled marinara sauce with freshly browned ground beef and sautéed chopped onion.
Tip : This dish becomes really easy to make if you have left over spaghetti tossed with sauce, just add the other ingredients and you have 1/2 the recipe done.
