Spaghetti and meatballs is delicious comfort food. Whether you’ve created a sauce that simmers on the stove all day or using a jarred sauce for a shortcut easy meal, put a plate on the table and there are instant smiles. <\/p>\n

But don’t limit yourself to only spaghetti and meatballs. There are so many other uses for that box of spaghetti.<\/p>\n

Jeanne Benavidez’s<\/a><\/strong> (Odessa, TX<\/a><\/strong>) Chicken Spaghetti<\/a><\/strong> is one of the most popular dishes on Just A Pinch for a reason… it’s wonderfully cheesy!<\/p>\n

“This is a great, comfort dish,” says Jeanne. “Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve with a salad and hot garlic bread. You’ll be a hit with everyone.”<\/p>\n

This has become a go-to recipe for member Jo Wilson<\/a><\/strong> (Tulsa, OK<\/a><\/strong>). “So much easier than an older recipe I had and so much cheesier! I haven’t had ANY complaints about it.” She tweaks it here and there but it always goes fast in her family. It will with yours too!<\/p>\n

Easy to prepare and even easier to eat, Patti Smith’s<\/a><\/strong> (Calhoun, GA<\/a><\/strong>) Baked Spaghetti<\/a><\/strong> has become a staple on my menu. “This is one of my all-time favorites,” shares Patti. “It is fantastic to take to potlucks or to a friend who is under the weather.” <\/p>\n

Layered with ground beef, spaghetti, a quick sauce and cheese, this is everything you love about spaghetti and meatballs, just in a casserole form. Patti likes it cold the next day and I’d have to agree. You can’t go wrong with this one.<\/p>\n

“I came up with this recipe using a classic ratatouille recipe and adding hot Italian sausage and serving over spaghetti,” reveals Terri Rountree<\/a><\/strong> (Whitewright, TX<\/a><\/strong>) about how she developed her hearty and delicious Spicy Ratatouille with Sausage & Spaghetti<\/a><\/strong> recipe.<\/p>\n

Packed with eggplant and zucchini this will be a great recipe to Pinch for when your garden is in full bloom (or the farmer’s markets are filled with produce). Terri’s addition of hot Italian sausage definitely gives the ratatouille a bit of a bite. Substitute sweet sausage for delicious results if you don’t like heat.<\/p>\n

Silka Clark<\/a><\/strong> (Denver, CO<\/a><\/strong>) reinvents spaghetti leftovers for her Grandma LoLo’s Spaghetti Pie<\/a><\/strong>. “My mom taught me how to make this with my leftover spaghetti,” explains Silka. “It is the best way to take a leftover and turn it into something even better!”<\/p>\n

Your family will never know this dish was made with leftovers. Putting a little garlic and oregano along a biscuit crust adds a punch flavor. Fresh mozzarella on top really makes this dish gooey and yummy. It’s a quick and easy family meal.<\/p>\n

Josee Lanzi<\/a><\/strong> (New Port Richey, FL<\/a><\/strong>) makes spaghetti look extremely impressive, and puts a fresh twist on a classic recipe, with her Chicken Parmesan & Creamy Tomato & Basil Spaghetti<\/a><\/strong>. “It’s loaded with fresh ingredients,” says Josee. “My family loves it and so do my friends. They love the fresh taste of this Parmesan and spaghetti!”<\/p>\n

It’s all the flavors of chicken Parmesan but lighted up. I love the fresh basil and tomatoes sprinkled on top. The perfect finishing touch.<\/p>\n

You’ll definitely get oohs and ahhs when your family sees these delicious spaghetti recipes on the table. Grab that box from the pantry and see what you can create. Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
