ITALIAN BAKED SPAGHETTI WHEEL

Jump To Recipe >>>

Today I wanted to propose this scrumptious pasta treat. Italian baked spaghetti wheel from Ginny's call for help on my Facebook page...

Ginny told me about her story, when she met with her Italian friend. One day she was invited by this friend, at home for lunch, and she was amazed by the offering of a baked spaghetti wheel made in a  casserole.

Now after many years Ginny wanted to make herself this scrumptious treat, she tried hard but could never replicate such dish.

Today I'm very glad that Imma from Naples submitted for Ginny and all of us this Italian baked recipe named "timballo di spaghetti".

Here you can find all the ingredients and preparation and all the care Imma puts to make this recipe. Enjoy!
