Spaghetti cake? like a frittata?!
I've got a ton of leftover spaghetti, and I'm looking for a recipe that uses cooked spaghetti, eggs, cheese, and it's baked in a cake tin and sliced like a pie or cake. I had it when I was a kid, but I don't know if my mom used a real Italian recipe, or was just a creative cook with leftovers. Anyone have something like this before?
Answers: Happy holidays fellow foodies!
