    "Is Spaghetti Pie Italian?" is one of the most common questions I get asked by my friends. And, that answer to that question is yes, it is Italian. In Italy, it is called Spaghetti Al Forno. No matter what you call this easy dish, it is still beefy, cheesy, and oh so delicious.

    If you're crazy about easy Italian, you've got to try our No Boil Lasagna Rolls.
