A combination of the classic Italian spaghetti recipe remade into a creamy spaghetti pie the whole family would definitely love. This cheesy spaghetti pie recipe was shared with me a few years ago, and my family has loved this ever since! Great for potlucks and gatherings because pasta is filling and nutritious. Plus, it’s freezer-friendly too.
