This Spaghetti Pizza recipe is from the 1994 Kansas Wheat Commission Recipe booklet originally submitted by Cindy Falk, Kansas Wheat Test Kitchen Director.
“It is a go-to family favorite that can be made ahead and refrigerated, then popped in the oven right before dinner guests arrive.”
It can also be made ahead of time and frozen for a later meal. The recipe can easily be doubled for a larger pizza.
