Spaghetti Bolognaise Pie – The popular pasta dish now in a Pie ! An easy everyday dinner or slice into blocks when cold and take on a picnic !

Seems everything I make these days, are some or other kind of pie and today I am sharing a scrumptious Spaghetti Bolognaise Pie – same delicious taste, little less saucy.

This is a great dish ! Hubby and I had it twice before and I made it for the kids tonight as well.

My son did seem a bit confused when I told him it’s not Spaghetti Bolognaise as he knows, and loves this popular pasta dish, but a pie.

Again, no complaints and all plates were emptied, and absolutely no leftovers as just about everyone had seconds!

A Family friend who was here for dinner did however, smother his portion in tomato sauce, but then again – he loves his tomato sauce…

I used a packet of Knorr-Cook-In-Sauce with water. But it will taste just as good if the Knorr and Water is substituted with a bottle of store-bought Bolognaise sauce or even better a homemade sauce.

It should not be too saucy as it might be difficult to cut into portions, unless you do not mind.

This Bolognaise Pie is also so convenient to bake the previous day and sliced into large cubes to take on a picnic as it is delicious served cold as well.

But for me, it is a lifesaver when I need a dinner to feed a crowd and also a dish which does not take too long to put together.
