spaghetti is not our buddy with our new diet and fitness routine, even though my husband and I both LOVE spaghetti. It’s a little bit simpler for us to enjoy our favorites thanks to this pasta bake with ground turkey!

Reviews
I would have liked to give this 3.5 stars. The taste is nicely buttery but the cakes are a bit too greasy. Be careful not to over mix or the crumb will be weird- too dense or course. I found the icing was too sweet and lacked flavour. I cut out the middle and cut into wedges.. the hollowed out middle and filled with the icing. Put the wedges on the cup cake, using icing to make it stick, to give it “wings”
