We have been obsessed with Spaghetti Pie ever since we first learned of its existence watching the Today show earlier this year. As soon as we made it for ourselves we knew we had to create a mini version for the lunch box. I mean seriously, who doesn't want to feast on a portable cheesy version of spaghetti? Duh! Kash suggested we pack this one with a few slices of pepperoni and basil, so he can "spice it up" if he wants. That kid....I don't know where he gets it!
