Notes
Pie Plate – If you don’t have a deep dish pie plate bake the Gluten Free Spaghetti Pie in an 8x8 or 2-quart casserole dish using the same cooking directions.
Pasta – While the recipe states 6oz of spaghetti, if you have an 8oz box just use it all if you want. The recipe will still work.
Meat Sauce – Change up the meat sauce as needed. Use sausage instead of beef or a combination of them both. Ground Turkey would be a great option as well.
Seasoning – Use your favorite Italian seasonings in the sauce or spice it up with some red pepper flakes.
