Amy's Simple Spaghetti Pie is a family-friendly dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. The spaghetti is cooked until al dente and then mixed with eggs to create a light layer at the bottom of the dish. The meat is browned in a pan with tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, and butter and then poured over the spaghetti. The dish is topped with mozzarella cheese, which melts and creates a gooey, delicious layer on top. The result is a hearty, satisfying meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight or a lazy Sunday brunch. This dish can be customized to include different types of meat, cheese, or veggies, depending on your preferences.
