Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding ricotta cheese to the spaghetti mixture. If you're looking to lighten the dish, use whole wheat spaghetti or substitute with zucchini noodles. Fresh herbs can also enhance the flavor; try basil or oregano alongside the parsley. If you have leftover spaghetti, it works well in salads like Broccoli Tortellini Salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Spaghetti Supper Pie with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Italian recipes like Pizza Wheels or a fresh side of Broccoli Tortellini Salad. Don't forget to sprinkle extra Parmesan on top before serving for added flavor!
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions; just add a splash of water to keep the pasta moist.
