Looking for a new recipe to try with your family? An alternative to a family favorite, spaghetti, is my Simple Spaghetti Pie.

My kids love noodles in pretty much every form! I’m sure your family does too? And, I love red sauce because it is a great way to sneak in extra veggies to their diet. Spaghetti pie is great because it has a creamy center and I can swap the high carb pasta (if you into low carb) for a low carb and healthy alternative, spaghetti squash or zoodles, aka spiralized zucchini.

So I have altered my original recipe which just called for sour cream (which you can still totally use), I just found I happen to like the combo of sour cream and cream cheese better. You can even swap out the sour cream for cottage cheese if that is what you have on hand as well.

Remember, a recipe is only a guideline! Use your imagination and what you have on hand in your refrigerator and pantry.

This is a great dish to surprise guests with a unique take on the very traditional dish, spaghetti. This dish also freezes really well before baking so make 2!
