This was a recipe that I learned from a neighbor in Ohio. There are other recipes out there like this one, but this is the easiest one I've found, and in my opinion, the best tasting...I always make 2 of these at a time and share the 2nd with friends who in turn share a dish with my family...Or you could make it all in one big 9 x 13" rectangular pan...It's a keeper for sure! (And quite the ice-breaker, I must say!)

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean ground beef
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (16 ounce) pasta sauce with mushrooms (Prego is the perfect brand for this!)
1 cup parmesan cheese (Kraft grated)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 (16 ounce) carton ricotta cheese
1 (16 ounce) package thin spaghetti, cooked and drained
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef and garlic in skillet. Drain well.
  • Mix cooked and drained ground beef/garlic mixture with the Prego spaghetti sauce in a large skillet. Cook on medium/low until heated through.
  • Beat eggs and add parmesan cheese in a large bowl.
  • Add cooked and drained pasta (cooled slightly so as not to "scramble" the eggs) and toss well to coat.
  • Spread pasta mixture on bottom and up sides of 2- 9" glass deep dish pie plates. (Press it down firmly with a spoon to resemble the shape of a pie crust.).
  • Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning evenly on pasta mixture on each 9" pie.
  • Spread 1/2 Ricotta cheese evenly on EACH pie, over the pasta mixture.
  • Top each pie with 1/2 the meat mixture.
  • Sprinkle each pie with 1 cup mozzerella cheese. (I sprinkle a little bit more Parmesan cheese on top -- ).
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, until the cheese melts and is SLIGHTLY crispy on top.
  • Let stand and cool for 5 minutes, and then cut into wedges.
  • YUMMMMY!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your spaghetti pie a more complex flavor. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and ricotta.
  • Don't overcook the spaghetti. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Let the spaghetti pie cool slightly before slicing. This will help it hold its shape.
  • Serve the spaghetti pie with your favorite sauce. Some good options include marinara, Alfredo, or pesto.
  • Garnish the spaghetti pie with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover spaghetti. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, spaghetti pie is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
