Baked in a casserole dish, this cozy meal is half spaghetti, half pizza, but one hundred percent awesome.
I was so excited when I recently came across my mom’s recipe card for La Spaghetti, a dish she used to make for weeknight suppers.
For the record, I don’t know anyone else who calls this dish La Spaghetti, but there are various recipes online for spaghetti pizza or pizza spaghetti bake that are similar. It’s basically spaghetti in casserole form, topped with cheese and slices of pepperoni. When my mom would make this recipe, I remember thinking it was kind of “fancy” so I guess the name fits.
Making it now, I realize that this recipe is not fancy at all. It’s simply an easy and unfussy, people-pleaser dish that you can make with ingredients you probably already have on hand, so you don’t even need to run out in the cold to get groceries. You are welcome!
I tweaked my mom’s recipe (above) to use ingredients I had on hand and to make this dish gluten-free. I also added a bit of seasoning to the spaghetti sauce mixture.
Let me know if you make La Spaghetti or any other dish you may be enjoying to stay warm in the cold days ahead.
