Today I'm sharing my new favorite make ahead freezer meal. Not only frugal and easy to make, it's also a cinch to mass-produce these to freeze. These make a wonderful hospitality meal to have on hand to either bake for unexpected guests or to take to someone who needs a meal brought to them. This has a "lasagna taste" to it and is so much quicker and less expensive than lasagna! I've figured that each pie costs about $3 to make.
My sister shared this recipe with me and we love it!
Spaghetti Pie
(Amounts given are for one pie; multiply according if making more than one)
Cook half of a 1 pound box of spaghetti(4 cups cooked pasta; approx. 1 1/2" diameter of uncooked)per package instructions.
Mix 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese with 2 beaten eggs and a little butter. Add to the hot noodles and mix well.
Grease a pie pan and nest in the noodles, bringing them up on the sides to resemble a crust.
Put spaghetti sauce with meat or leftover lasagna sauce on top. You can add mushrooms to this if you would like.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
If freezing, double wrap and freeze until ready to use. (Thaw in fridge overnight.)
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes or until hot and bubbly!
Cut in wedges and serve with garlic bread and a salad.

We used to eat this fairly frequently when I lived with my parents. The spaghetti "crips" up into a nice crust. I'll have to try it for my little spaghetti-lover! Thanks for the reminder!
