Okay, I’ve tried several spaghetti pie recipes over the years and have liked their ability to freeze but when it came down to it, most of the time I’d prefer to create a fresh batch of spaghetti because it took about the same amount of time to prepare without having to turn on the oven. That is, until now.
Thanks to Seven Monkeys in a Row I’ve found my new Spaghetti Pie Recipe and this one’s a keeper. It definitely blows those other recipes out of the water. In fact, I’ve cleaned out my recipe files of all the other ones except this one it’s so good. Try it and you’ll see what I mean. Healthy, filling, and creamy yum! Enjoy!

Oh for goodness sakes, cream cheese? That’s gotta be a winner! I’ve never tried spaghetti pie with CREAM CHEESE in it before! 🙂
