Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-3-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 3 to 4 minutes less than the package recommends, so that it is very al dente. Drain and reserve.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef, 5 to 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the beef to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat and saute the onions until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the marinara, ricotta, parsley, eggs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the cooked spaghetti, beef and onions and toss to evenly coat. Transfer to the prepared pan, top with the mozzarella and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.

SIMPLE SPAGHETTI PIE
I absolutely love how easily this spaghetti pie jazzes up a simple Italian meal. This is my ultimate dish I make whenever guests come over. Every guest has requested this recipe. Very versatile to suit your style/taste. You can halve the recipe and put it in the 8x8 pan. I usually don't measure the ingredients for the layers; I just eye it to my taste. I like the sauce cooked separately, to allow for flexibility in serving. Feel free to experiment !

EASY SPAGHETTI PIE
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!)

SPAGHETTI SQUASH CUSTARD PIE FOR WEIGHT WATCHERS
If you use your imagination, you have a pretty good coconut custard pie for dieters, sans the crust. I found this recipe on a WW blog site and bravely tried it. Before you get excited, no, it doesn't taste like Mom's coconut pie, but if you crave dessert (I did) and happen to be following WW Core diet plan (I am), Bob's your uncle! ;-) Prep time does not include cooking the squash - use your favorite method for this, microwave or oven or use up leftovers as I did. The original recipe called 4 eggs, but I used 2 + 1/2 cup Eggbeaters. The fat-free margarine option: this was in the recipe as I copied it but that's not something I ever use. Unable to think of a reasonable substitute, I left it out altogether. My pie turned out just fine but use the margarine if you prefer. Or heck, go all out and sling in some butter. Just don't forget to count the points!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Put all ingredients except squash in your blender and whiz on low for a minute or so.
- Stir in the squash by hand. Pour mixture in the pan. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until just set. The top will puff up and brown.
- NB: I like it better cold. The cornmeal settles to the bottom and forms a kind of sweet polenta crust.
BEEFY CHEESY SPAGHETTI PIE

Stir in the heavy cream and season with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Transfer to a bowl and reserve skillet.
- 2. Add the cooked spaghetti to the beef mixture and toss well. Beat the eggs and add to the pasta along with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Toss well to combine.
- 3. Wipe out the skillet and heat the 1 tablespoon remaining oil over high heat. Add the spaghetti mixture and lightly press down. Cook until the bottom sets, about 5 minutes.
- 4. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until set in the center and crispy around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let stand at least 5 minutes. Scatter with torn basil leaves and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Spaghetti or angel hair pasta works best for this recipe because they are thin and easy to work with. You can also use fettuccine or linguine, but they may be more difficult to fit into the pie plate.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked just until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the pasta, it will be too soft and mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a cheese that you love. A sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan cheese all work well.
- Don't overfill the pie plate. This is another common mistake that can lead to a soggy pie. The pasta should be packed tightly into the pie plate, but there should still be some room for the cheese to melt and bubble.
- Bake the pie until it is golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the pie so that it doesn't overcook.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. With a few simple tips, you can make a spaghetti pie that is sure to impress your family and friends.
