Hello there. I sure hope your Mother's Day was groovy and you got to put your feet up and paint your toenails...or something really great like that.
For your viewing pleasure today, I have a great little dinner recipe. A good friend brought this yummy Spaghetti Pie to my house a few weeks ago, and holy cow it was good. It's a nice twist on the regular spaghetti dinner. Spaghetti noodles are mixed with Parmesan cheese and butter, then spread out into the bottom of a casserole dish. Cottage cheese, a fabulous meat sauce and mozzarella cheese are layered over the noodles, then the whole concoction is baked until the the cheese is bubbly and golden. Love the taste, love the texture.
Delicious.
Delightful.
Hope you try it soon!
