Cook spaghetti as directed on box. Either let cool or rinse with cold water in a strainer
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Add parmesan, whisk eggs, and Italian seasoning to the bowl of spaghetti and mix together well
Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray
Take some spaghetti and fill each muffin tin with it and form a little bowl shape
Add some pasta sauce on top of each spaghetti bowl
Add a popcorn chicken into each spaghetti bowl and cook for 10 minutes
Remove from oven and add some pasta sauce on top of each popcorn chicken
Add a piece of Mozzarella cheese on top of each popcorn chicken and put back in oven for another 5 minutes

Make sure to grease the whole inside of each muffin tin. Otherwise the spaghetti will stick and tear
Do use popcorn chicken instead of chicken nuggets. The popcorn chicken is just the right size for the mini muffin tins
Any store bought pasta sauce will do or you can use my pasta sauce recipe from my Chicken Parmesan recipe. I would just dilute it with a little bit more water to get the texture of sauce you are going for.
What type of Mozzarella cheese you use does not matter. Cut slices of Mozzarella down to fit over the popcorn chicken. Throw some shredded Mozzarella on top. Or use parts of string cheese like I did.
Don't add the top layer of pasta sauce and layer of cheese until after you have already cooked the cups and chicken before. The cheese will be too melted and start to get hard.
You can use regular muffin cups, but you will need more spaghetti and will probably want to use chicken nuggets instead of popcorn chicken
