Spaghetti and Cheese Pies are a fun twist on traditional spaghetti. The recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner and kids love it. Instead of serving traditional spaghetti on a plate, you create little pies in a muffin tin. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. The melted cheese on top of the pies makes them super tasty and the bread cups hold everything together perfectly. You can also add your favorite veggies or meat to the recipe to make it more satisfying.
