Spaghetti Pie
This spaghetti pie reminds of lasagna with a twist.
This is a great recipe for your leftover spaghetti sauce. I always make too much sauce and end up with a couple of containers in the freezer. A quick and easy meal your kids will love.

This is a LBC original!
Yum! All those cheeses make it look fantastic!
Yum! I love spaghetti pie. It always seem so much more special than just plain old spaghetti on the stove top!
I make spaghetti pie whenever we have a lot of leftover pasta. Mr. Rainbow Creek always laughs at me when I say we are having Spaghetti Pie. He thinks it is some hillbilly concoction I came up with. But he always admits it is good. I’ll have to give your version a try next time, it sounds great with the fontina and Havarti cheeses.
I’ve always meant to try spaghetti pie. It just looks tasty and fun. Thanks for the recipe!
I ALWAYS make too much sauce too. Funny how that is! Thanks for sharing your recipe at Scrumptious Sunday!
Oh my gosh. My “boys” would love this! Thanks for sharing at Church Supper! Have a blessed week & see you next Sunday!
Looks delicious! And pretty easy, does it for me 🙂
Great idea. My grand kids would love this. We always have spaghetti when they stay over night. I am hosting my 1st blog hop today I would be honored if you would link up your recipe. Diane @ http://mamaldiane.com/?p=3453
Well, I had 1/2 jar Ragu, about 2 cups of leftover chili, and about 1/4 jar of salsa that I wanted to use up. Some cottage cheese, no ricotta, shredded cheddar, provolone slices for on top, and in about 1/2 hour we’ll know how it turned out 🙂
Good Luck Carla! 🙂
