Spaghetti Cups
Spaghetti Cups are a delicious way to use up that leftover spaghetti you have in your refrigerator. Perfect as an appetizer or for lunch. These Spaghetti Cups are the perfect combo of meat, sauce, noodles and bread.
Do you eat Spaghetti at least once a week like my family does? There’s something so simple and easy about spaghetti. My family can’t get enough of it. It’s perfect leftovers for lunch or dinner and even taste good cold. Yes, I like my spaghetti cold.
Come on all you cold spaghetti lovers. I know you’re out there.
But…I always make too much and have a ton of leftovers. Why do I always have to make the whole box of pasta?
I tell myself every single time that I’m going to make enough just for the meal and one night of leftovers. Nothing more, nothing less.
It never works out that way? Never fails that we’re eating spaghetti for days and days. So many leftovers that we get tired of it and my husband swears he’ll never eat a plate of spaghetti again.
Last week I made spaghetti again and of course I made to much. I had a ton of leftovers and didn’t know what to do with it. I needed to come up with an idea or my husband was going to kill me. My poor family is so good, always dealing with me and my food blogger ways. Sean will request some sort of meal and I’ll tell him, “sorry honey, but that’s not on the menu this week. I really need to get xyz recipe done for the blog.”
It’s always about the blog babe. But I love you and thank you for dealing with me and my ways!!
Back to the Spaghetti Cups. I had a ton of spaghetti made and kept thinking what others ways I could use up these leftovers. Then my mind went to the lunches I try really really hard to make every day, but normally fail. I wanted them to be able to eat the leftover spaghetti and a slice of bread in one bite. Something easy peazy, that they didn’t need utensils or extra containers.
That’s when I came up with these cute spaghetti cups. They’re really simple to throw together and take no time at all. They bake up well and taste great. You can pack them for the kids lunches or even have them as an appetizer. It’s like have a mini treat in your mouth. You have your protein, carb and vegetables all in one bite. What more can you ask for?
The next time you have leftovers, remember these cute little guys! You’ll be thanking me. I promise!!

Those are so cute Cyndi – what a great idea for using up leftovers! My family would love it if I made spaghetti more often, whenever I ask what anyone wants for supper the answer is ALWAYS spaghetti – although I get bored with it. Me and my food blogger ways! 🙂 Thanks for the link to my pasta!!
Thanks Stacey! I get sick of the same thing too, but the family loves it so I make it. 😉
These are genius. My kids would devour them for lunch, no doubt about it. I’m pinning them to make this summer!!

I am the worst spaghetti estimator in the world…i always always always cook up way too much. These are just too cute! Bet kids would love them!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who over cooks Denise! Thanks sweetie!
I can never estimate the correct amount of pasta and I always add just a bit more cause I want to have enough. These cups are a clever idea!
Thanks Kathy and I always cook to much too. 🙂
These are so delightful and beyond clever. I would have a ball serving these at a party.
Awww thanks Jocelyn!! 🙂
We have spaghetti all the time, especially now that my baby loves them so much 😀 I always measure out my spaghetti because we’re really bad with eating leftovers – but I think next time I’ll make too much on purpose so I can try your super cute spaghetti cups 🙂
Thanks friend!! PS I am horrible at eating leftovers too. 🙂 These are great cause you feel like its a brand new dinner, hehe

These are so cute! Such a great way to use up pasta! I always cook too much. I am just incapable of measuring it and not handing an extra bit for luck!

We love spaghetti too and I love this fun twist on it to mix things up!
Thanks Julie! 🙂
This looks like bite size deliciousness! What a great idea.
Thank you Mary!
I’ve had to seriously train myself out of making the whole box of pasta. Otherwise, it’s spaghetti in Tupperware containers that we throw out three weeks later after they’ve wound up in the back of the fridge.
This is seriously a great idea. Talk about making it into something awesome! I’m super tempted to make the whole box again now, just to try this!
Haha thank you Mir! Let me know if you “accidentally” make the whole box and make these. 🙂
