What follow is my grandmother’s recipe for spaghetti pie. This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. My grandmother would make this for me and my cousins when we were younger. Generally speaking this is a recipe that I have left untouched over the years. Most recipes I tend to tweak to my desires. This is comfort food pure and simple. So what I will do for you today is share my grandmother’s recipe as is, and in italics share with you the changes I made in it for tonight’s go.
