Spaghetti Pie

This is a quick and easy version of my spaghetti pie. This is a perfect dish for a potluck and can be made ahead of time. I used buccatini which is one of my favorite pastas to use in a dish like this one. It is like a thick spaghetti noodle but it is hollow in the center.

The buccatini is layered in the pan with the sauce.

It is then topped with mushroom soup before adding a thick layer of cheese. I had my doubts about this step but was pleasantly surprised at what a wonderful addition it was. It added a super creamy layer of goodness that really complimented the pasta.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
