This recipe was totally fascinating to me! After doing some research, I realized that it’s a popular concept that I missed out on in my entire existence.

Printed this out and will be making it for dinner next week – hubs is a meat and potatoes guy, so I have a feeling he will LOVE it. Thanks for sharing!

this sounds perfect because i do love lasanga but always ends up being too overwhelming and messy. I hope you and the little one are doing great.

I *LOVE* spaghetti pie! I haven’t made it in a couple of years, though, because one member of my household can’t eat anything even remotely eggy due to texture (he’s ubersensitive to it even though I’ve never noticed it) so I may need to figure out a way to set up the crust without egg because now I’m craving this. 🙂

Great post! I have made pasta, sauce & meatballs. When making I do not combine pasta with sauce, so they can use as much or little as they want. But the meatballs are great because not very large and can be used in a sandwich also. So I always include a loaf of French bread. Oh yes don’t forget the fresh sprinkle cheese! 🙂

Sounds so good–and I love that you just validated the lasagna that my friends and I always take to each other! I shortened lasagna prep awhile back by refusing to cook the noodles and instead just adding more sauce and longer, slower cook time. Not ideal either. So sometimes I just use the crockpot.

I’m going to modify your recipe and try it with my CSA produce bag of spaghetti squash, tomatoes, and peppers. I’ll let you know how it goes! Thanks for being such a great resource and CONGRATS on being a new mom! I love the name Juniper and I love that you explained how she got her middle names. We four named our only son for all his grandfathers. Bless his heart, people always say 🙂

This reminds me of my grandmother’s specialty “baked spaghetti” which was basically lazy mac and cheese (leftover spaghetti noodles with chucks of butter and cheese baked together). It was the only thing she cooked, but it was divine 🙂

This looks really good! I’d never heard of spaghetti pie before. Lasagna is one of my favourite foods but it’s also a vegetarian one in our home. It does take a while to make but man are those left over lunches the next day so delicious! I always take moms chicken noodle soup, fresh french bread and frozen chocolate chip cookie dough balls. If the mom has other children then I’ll send some apple banana bran raisin muffins too- great snack for mom right after giving birth but kids love them too.

Delicious. I got a similar recipe from another LJ friend years ago and love making it! Thanks for the reminder, I might try it again to see if our daughter will eat it too.

I like taking a variety of things. My new favorite is breakfast burritos. For some reason, breakfast was a hard thing for me to remember to eat and it was nice to be able to eat one-handed (and was also something my husband could enjoy on his way to work or at his desk). I also like to take something they can make that night or the next night – frozen meals are good but it’s nice to have something immediate. We had a friend bring us a taco kit – cooked meat, shredded lettuce & cheese, chopped tomatoes, salsa, and tortillas. It was great to eat that day.

I took my BFF some burritos, an Italian beef roast that was all ready for the crock pot the next day, and M&M bars (because chocolate). 🙂
