It struck me that you're not assigning int(spag_ent.get()) to any variable:
spaghettiAmount = int(spag_ent.get())
Moreover, I'd try to create the program in such a way that it doesn't become a
headache to change the menu (for instance, to add a new pasta).
Perhaps by using a dctionary as a parameter: menu = {"spaghetti": 4.50,
"macaroni": 2.10, "calzone": 6.00}
Your example reminds me of one chapter of Head First Design Patterns
(O'Reilly). Would be interesting to compare your approach with the one in the
book.
