One of my son’s favorite meals has always been spaghetti pie. He loved it as a kid, and although he’s now in his twenties it’s still one of his faves. These mini spaghetti pies are a fun new version of my son’s favorite. They are perfect lunch or as a snack. Serve them as an appetizer to friends and family on the next big game day.
If you follow @aboutamom on Twitter and Instagram, you may have noticed that I recently went on a trip to the Pillsbury Test Kitchens in Minneapolis. Since Laura is the more creative cook in our family, I was feeling a little intimidated about being in the test kitchen with the Pillsbury pros and some of my favorite food bloggers. As someone who loves meals that are quick and simple to prepare, I was thrilled when given the challenge of creating a recipe with 5 or fewer ingredients that could be prepared in less than 30 minutes. It also helped that I was paired up with the fabulous Dorothy from Crazy for Crust. After a few minutes of brainstorming and taking inventory of the ingredients available to us, Dorothy and I created these wonderful 5 ingredient mini spaghetti pies.

I was pretty happy with how these mini spaghetti pies turned out. These little cuties are not only delicious, but are very simple to prepare. I made another batch of them for lunch today, so that I could get the exact ingredient measurements for you. If your mealtime routine is anything like mine with a weekly spaghetti night, then this recipe is ideal for using up that left over spaghetti. All you’ll need in addition to your leftovers are the Pillsbury Grands Biscuits.
Pillsbury provided me with an all expense paid trip to visit them in Minneapolis. I was under not obligation to write this post. I just wanted to share this fun recipe with you. Enjoy!
5 Ingredient Mini Spaghetti Pies Recipe:
5 Ingredient Mini Spaghetti Pies
About a MomIngredients
- Pillsbury Grands Biscuits 8 count package
- 8 ounces spaghetti noodles
- 2 cups prepared spaghetti sauce
- 1 1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh Basil chopped
Instructions
- Prepare spaghetti noodles according to package directions.
- While spaghetti is boiling, split each Pillsbury Grands Biscuit into 2 equal parts. Using the palm of your hand, press each biscuit half into a 2 1/2 to 3 inch round. You will want it to fill the inside of a muffin tin. Press each of the 16 biscuit discs down into a muffin tin. It will need to fill the bottom and go up the sides.
- After cooked spaghetti has been drained, return it to the pot. Stir in 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the spaghetti sauce.
- Using tongs or a spoon, fill each biscuit cup with prepared spaghetti. Use remaining 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce to top each pie with a small amount of sauce. Sprinkle the tops of each pie with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.
- Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 12 - 15 minutes. Remove from oven and optionally garnish with additional chopped Basil.
Well, all I can say is yum. Even my pickiest eater would like those.
I love this recipe! I love spaghetti already,but in little pies,this would be easy for the kids to eat and not get so messy!I also think this would be a good appetizer!
These look great and like they’re fun to eat! I could easily double the recipe to feed the entire family too.
YUM!! And something the kiddos will eat too!!! Thanks!
These are adorable and yummy looking all at once. I know my boys would love these!
These look really good and easy to make. Thanks for the great recipe!
I’ve never heard of spaghetti pie but it sounds so yummy! Pinned this to make later!
This looks delicious! I love pie crust and spaghetti so the two together is a perfect combination! I’ll have to make this for my family soon!
Thank you for this recipe! I wouldn’t have thought to made mini-pies using spaghetti! I think this would be great for my daughter because she can’t have tomato sauce (severe reflux problems) and she feels left out if I make spaghetti for everyone else. Now I can make her ‘special’ mini spaghetti pies without the sauce (I might try it with Alfredo sauce instead for her)! Thank you!
I have never heard of spaghetti pie before but they looks so good!My grandkids will love these,and I will be making them soon for them.Thanks for sharing your recipe.
