Neapolitan Spaghetti Pie
This recipe brings back memories, it is a Spaghetti Pie that accompanied many family activities and one that I would make for my Mom. The recipe is versatile and can be made with only cheese too. We ate this cold, room temperature or right from the frying pan. Through the years I have made this for my family and friends and even the most skeptical of eaters, have learned to love this dish....

Recipe Notes
You can split the mixture and make two smaller pies. I find the pie cooks all the way through this way and is easier to handle and serve.
