Easy Pasta Recipes for Kids

This Spaghetti Pizza if for families like mine that need EASY pasta meals that everyone can enjoy!

My kids would eat spaghetti or any shape of plain noodles for every meal. Correction, if they planned the family menu without guidance they would want pancakes once in a while too. Please tell me I’m not alone with these carb addicted children?

Don’t get me wrong, we work really hard to eat a balanced diet including all of the food groups. But without a little planning and adult supervision, the kids would eat pasta at least 15 times a week.

My husband’s Godfather and uncle shared this recipe with us. He’s got four grown kids and shared that they made this pizza and spaghetti meal combination at least once a week for their family dinner because it’s so simple!

I’ve seen all of his kids at family parties. They’re all healthy, well-nourished and eat a variety of foods. So this is proof that we can feed our kids lots of pasta and they will willingly eat a variety of other foods as adults.

This meal could easily be made into a Lenten Casserole by replacing the meat with veggies. There are so many options to mix up this basic meal!

How to Store Spaghetti Pizza

Let this casserole cool and then store covered tightly, in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 – 5 days. We like to cut into individual pieces and place in smaller serving containers before refrigerating. Then when someone needs a quick meal their serving is ready to go. Our son love packing pieces of the spaghetti casserole in his school lunch.

Can you Freeze Spaghetti Casserole

Yes! A cool casserole can be frozen in the original pan or cut into individual servings to freeze. Freeze in an airtight container or ziplock bag.

This casserole makes a great freezer meal. Sometimes I like to add a little extra sauce or cheese when reheating to make a great reheated meal.
