Spaghetti Rolls

Submitted by DuChick

"When I found this in an old cookbook, I thought of it as a very novel idea! It's got everything we know and love as spaghetti, only it's in a different form. Try this as a fun diversion of an old standby. :)"

Definitely glad that I tried this recipe. We’re a cheese loving family, so I added more mozzarella to the beef mixture, as well as some hot pepper flakes (we also love spice). In addition, we added more mozzarella on top of the sauce to give it more of a lasagna feel… overall - WONDERFUL. We have taken this dish to a dinner party, and it was a hit. Thanks!

This dish was a good substitute for regular spaghetti. I made this with large shells instead of manicotti. I also added 2 tbsp of sour cream & 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese to the beef mixture & used Italian cheese mix. Thanks for the recipe...

This was really good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I used 2 cups of mozzarella cheese as we like things cheesy. I am going to add this to my OAMC plan. Thanks for a great meal.
