These scrumptious confectioneries are not your normal baked goods; they are muffins that act as a [spaghetti dinner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaghetti-and-meatballs-pizza) complete with cheese and meat sauce. The ‘Spaghetti Pie Muffins’ are similar to a [pasta casserole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lasagna-soups) but easier to eat and perfect to pack in a lunch—especially a child’s lunch. The muffins are a fun alternative to bringing your messy leftovers to work. They can be warmed up in jiffy and won’t take up much freezer room. Essentially, the Italian food-infused muffins are a gourmet meal to-go. You can now steer clear of fast-food and those plain old bologna sandwiches during your lunch hour.
