    Mini Spaghetti Pies

    Recipe from Georgia! Mini Spaghetti Pies are the perfect individual serving of a spaghetti nest with ground beef tomato sauce that is topped with creamy ricotta cheese.

    I have to thank my sister-in-law Suzie Q for this delicious recipe that is so easy to make. She made it for me years ago and I have made it for special occasions ever since.

    This Easter, instead of making Mini Spaghetti Pies in a pie-shaped pan, I decided to use a ramekin to make a bird nest shape for an individual serving for Easter.

    • Spoon in the meat sauce first then a spoon full of ricotta to cover the center.
    • Add parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top, place in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes depending on the heat of your oven.

    Variations

    Gluten- Free: For a gluten-free version use gluten-free pasta.
    Vegetarian: Use vegetables instead of ground beef and cut the vegetable into bite size than sauté the vegetables then add the tomato sauce.

    Storage

    Leftovers can be refrigerated about 3-4 days and reheated in the microwave or oven. They can also be frozen in single portions for lunches or dinner. Defrost overnight in the fridge and microwave or heat in the oven until heated through.

    Top Tips

    • Place the ramekins on a pan so they can fit. Makes it easier to just take the pan in the oven versus placing it individually into the oven.
    • I use a small spatula  to loosen the spaghetti around then remove and place on a plate. They can also  be served in the ramekins.
