Asparagus Spaghetti Pie (TNT)

Hi...
This is a great recipe...the spaghetti is used to make the crust for the pie and the filling of the asparagus and ham is great. This would be a great meal for a ladies luncheon or a quick summer dinner using fresh asparagus....I did use fresh asparagus and just steamed it until tender instead of the frozen asparagus.
Enjoy!
