The other night I decided to, yet again, experiment. I wanted pasta, but I wanted something "manageable" when I was serving myself, and, the honest truth, I just wanted to see how it would work.
What I found is, it still tastes mostly the same, but has some crunchiness to some parts due to the baking. Most importantly, I realized this would probably make a great party food. Easy to serve, fun to look at, and tastes like your favorite spaghetti. I would say the effort doesn't change the way it tastes, but it sure was fun making it!

In a stock pot cook angel hair pasta.
Once pasta is cooked and sauce has reduced, combine pasta, remaining sauce and about a cup of parmesan (to bind).
Oil muffin pans with olive oil. Filled with mixed pasta & sauce. Try to swirl the pasta to help with the structure. Top with remaining sauce.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for at least 30 minutes to set. You should be able to pull out with a spoon and fork when ready.
Enjoy!
