Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked spaghetti, drained and cooled

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or basil (optional)

1/2 cup marinara sauce (for topping)

Extra grated Parmesan cheese (for garnishing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with cupcake liners for easy removal.

    Combine Main Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked spaghetti, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt, and the eggs. Use a fork or spatula to mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive mixture.

      Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. If you’re using herbs, stir in the chopped parsley or basil as well. Mix until everything is evenly distributed and a thick, batter-like consistency is achieved.

        Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully fill each cup in the muffin tin with the spaghetti mixture. Aim to fill each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising during baking.

          Bake the Cupcakes: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the tops turn a lovely golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            Cool Down: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. After cooling slightly, gently lift the cupcakes out of the tin and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

              Prepare for Serving: When the mini spaghetti cupcakes have cooled, generously top each one with a spoonful of warm marinara sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of extra grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and presentation.

                Enjoy: Serve your delightful mini spaghetti cupcakes warm as a playful appetizer or savory snack at your next gathering, and watch them disappear!
