The cutest little spaghetti cups are here to tell ya that variety is the spice of life! Even if it means changing up the way you enjoy pasta. Because the time for fun is not tomorrow night or next week but right now, my pals. If there’s anything the last couple years have taught me, it’s the importance of finding joy in the little things. The cozy movie and popcorn night. Hot cocoa with whipped cream after dinner. For me it’s spaghetti cups night on a Tuesday. Every day there are a million little reasons to celebrate. You just have to be looking!
How to make spaghetti cups
Baked spaghetti is so darn easy! All you need is a box of Barilla Spaghetti, your favorite pasta sauce, cheese, eggs, and a bit of cream cheese.
They reheat beautifully and make enough to feed a crowd, too!
Nutrition, key ingredients and tips
Time for a fun nutrition fact! Did ya know enriched pasta is an excellent source of folate (50% Daily Value (DV)) and a good source of iron (10% DV)? Both nutrients are critical for healthy pregnancies and fetal development. Another fab reason for my ladies of child-bearing age to enjoy Barilla Spaghetti!
Pasta: We’re using spaghetti cooked perfectly al dente. This makes the perfect base for little pasta nests! Cheese: Parmesan and mozzarella are my fave for a flavor punch and the perfect amount of salt, but play with the proportions if you fancy. The cheese helps these stick together, too! Eggs: This is the main driver for getting these babies to stay nice and tight in the muffin tin. Cream cheese: For creaminess, tang, mouthful, and so we don’t have to use a zillion eggs. Pasta sauce: I so appreciate a sauce with high quality ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, onions, fresh tomatoes and Genovese basil. Vero Gusto is all the good stuff with no added sugar, water, or tomato paste. Spinach: For some veggies and a pop of color! You could also add sautéed mushrooms or bell pepper. A handful of fresh parsley or basil would also be fab.
