You know what food is pretty much universally loved? Spaghetti. You know what everyone loves to receive when going through a major life event — a new baby, moving into a new house, recuperating from surgery? A homemade meal. Especially when it’s spaghetti, I find. That’s where this Friendship Spaghetti Pie comes in handy. This recipe makes two pies, so you can keep one and gift the other, or gift both (it freezes very well!), and it’s so delicious that it’s always well received. A layered dish with spaghetti, ricotta, meat sauce, and mozzarella, it makes for a crave-worthy anytime dinner or the perfect meal to take to a friend.
