To make things safe, store leftover spaghetti pie up to four days in the fridge.
How to reheat Classic Spaghetti Pie or any pasta bake ?
You can reheat it straight from the freezer. You just remove plastic covering or foil. Bake at approx. 375 F until thawed in the center. Once you check it is soft ( by inserting toothpick or fork in the middle ) just continue baking until golden brown on the top.
