Ingredients

Scale

(Serves 6-8)

For the Pasta Crust:

  • 12 oz (340 g) spaghetti
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

For the Sauce:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Topping:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley or basil (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a springform pan.

2. Cook the Spaghetti:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
  2. Stir in the melted butter, eggs, and Parmesan cheese until the pasta is evenly coated.

3. Prepare the Meat Sauce:

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Assemble the Pie:

  1. Press the spaghetti mixture into the prepared pie dish, forming it into a crust that comes up the sides.
  2. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the spaghetti crust.
  3. Top with the meat sauce, spreading it evenly.

5. Bake:

  1. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve:

  1. Let the spaghetti pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired, and serve warm with a side salad or garlic bread.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Assemble the pie and refrigerate up to 1 day in advance. Bake as directed, adding an extra 5 minutes if starting from cold.
  • Vegetarian Option: Use sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers instead of meat.
  • Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
