Being creative with spaghetti for Scotch Pie, chips and a tin of spaghetti?

Bought a pie to have for my dinner tonight and fancied some chips and a tin of spaghetti - only to find I haven't a tin in the house...
I do have spaghetti and the "famous tomato soup" - do you think I could make a similar tasting version?
Or has anyone else found themselves in a similar position and had to be creative?
I think it must be the weather that's making me crave comfort food!

sounds horrible , have a baked potato instead of Spaghetti . If you must have the spag , grate cheese over it ...... but NOT the soup

Thanks Aggie, I think it just might be the taste of the soup that I'm craving so maybe I should do two courses, lol, tomato soup then the pie, etc. ... or maybe it's a Scottish thing? Just didn't fancy beans or peas tonight and I'm saving the potato to bake for tomorrow night's dinner - though what I'll decide to have in it by then is anyone's guess!

I would have the chips and the tin of spaghetti with the pie. Forget about the soup. Have that for lunch tomorrow.

I think the point is, jings, that clematisa doesn't have the tin of spaghetti.

Oh yes! Of course it is! I did read it but it left my head immediately. hmm

Extra chips then. That'll do it nicely. smile

Why don't you pour the soup over the pie, like gravy?

Of all the choices listed there I could only eat the chips.

Have the soup first, then pie and chips. No pasta.

Thanks all, I made the pasta with a tiny bit of the soup and some ketchup - it tasted just like the tinned stuff! So satisfied my cravings after all.
