Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti, cooked and drained
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for ricotta layer)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups meat sauce (your favorite recipe or jarred)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, melted butter, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Mix well until the spaghetti is coated.
  3. Press the spaghetti mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form a crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  4. While the crust bakes, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the bottom of the hot spaghetti crust.
  6. Spoon the meat sauce over the ricotta layer.
  7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the sauce.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.
  9. Let the spaghetti pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or Italian sausage in your meat sauce.
  • This recipe works well as a make ahead pasta meal; assemble completely, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the bake time if baking from cold.
  • Use high-CPC phrases like ‘hearty casserole recipes’ when sharing this dish.
