SPAGHETTI CUPCAKES

1/2 package (8 ounces) spaghetti, cooked and drained
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Broccoli florets, olives, pepperoni slices (if desired, for decoration)

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine cooked spaghetti, eggs, Parmesan cheese and pepper. Press evenly into muffin cups to form a "crust." Top each cup with spaghetti sauce, then mozzarella cheese.

Bake 15 minutes or until bubbling. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

If desired, before baking, decorate spaghetti cups with broccoli florets for hair, olives for eyes and pepperoni slices for mouths. Bake an additional 10 minutes.
