Fall is a time when the cool air makes the body crave hearty meals. Spaghetti Pie in my book is one such hearty dish. It’s a cross between lasagna and spaghetti that is indulgent and filling, as well as much easier to make. This is a kid friendly dish as well. I think most children love spaghetti and you can get them to fill up on the added ingredients of a lasagna with Spaghetti Pie. Serve this dish with a salad or vegetables and some garlic bread to complete the meal.
