Simple recipe for Gluten Free spaghetti pie.
Tired of eating the same old thing? Ready for a fun new Gluten Free dish to try? Let me share a super easy recipe for Baked Spaghetti Pie. It is perfect for a busy week night dinner or a make ahead meal that you heat as needed.
To be honest I’m not sure why it is called “pie”. The name was very confusing for the kiddos while I was making this recipe. Comments included: “Does that mean we get to eat dessert first?” and “But I don’t want noodles in my pie.” Now once the Spaghetti Pie was cooked and on the table they finally understood. It is simply spaghetti cooked in a pie pan with layers.
The bottom layer is noodles with cheese and an egg while the top layer is meat and tomato sauce. By adding the cream cheese to the noodles you get a creamy cheese flavor and it helps the noodles stay together so it really looks like a slice of pie. Think of the noodles as the crust.
Like many pasta dishes this recipe is great on day 2 and 3 and 4. If you have any leftovers just put them in single serve portions, heat and enjoy.
