What to do with 15 pounds of cooked spaghetti?!

I was going to suggest the very thing you suggested--spaghetti casserole. In my family, we called it baked spaghetti, and it consisted of noodles in a tomato meat sauce with a healthy layer of cheese on top. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

There are all kinds of pasta recipes on this site to use up those noodles! A recent genius recipe, fritattas, spaghetti bakes, lasagnas, noodles w/ fried or poached eggs, tetrazzinis. For now, I'd freeze it and just get a plan. Your family and friends will so appreciate all this goodness. Honestly, I sauce my noodles with everything from sauteed mushrooms and roasted peppers, carmelized onions and soft cheeses, to thick sauces. Really, the possibilities are endless.......

Wow! I'm thinking about a children's' book my kids used to love: Strega Nonna and the magic pasta pot. I've never tried freezing cooked spaghetti that was not in a sauce. I suspect, though, that freezing it in a sauce or casserole would keep a better consistency down the road.

Oh, goodness! I know just where you are, as a house guest just made us enough spaetzle to feed the Austro-Hungarian army. We ve-heated with and without sauce, added to soups, ate cold out of the storage containers, etc. Then suddenly, I started to think about bacterial growth and threw the rest out. It was sad but not as sad as getting sick and never wanting to make spaetzle ever again.
