  • Spaghetti pie originated as a creative use for leftover cooked spaghetti. This pie combines two family favorites, spaghetti and chili.
  • Look for zesty diced tomatoes next to other canned diced tomatoes in the grocery store.
  • Plain canned diced tomatoes can be used in place of zesty tomatoes; season them with chili powder and black pepper.
