Muffin Tin Spaghetti Nests (Using Leftover Pasta)

This is a great way to use up leftover pasta - you can use any type, whether it's tomato or cream based. It's kid friendly, and you can use it as an opportunity to add hidden vegetables, like grated carrot and zucchini. You can also freeze it - it reheats well in both the oven and microwave.
