Spaghetti Pie
Description
This Spaghetti Pie starts by mixing cooked, un-rinsed spaghetti with butter, Parmesan cheese, and eggs to hold the strands together when baked. This mixture is spread into a buttered pan, creating a pasta crust or base. Canned spaghetti sauce is poured atop, followed by a spread of small curd cottage cheese, adding moisture and creaminess. Additional Parmesan cheese is sprinkled over the sauce for extra sharpness. The bake at 350°F melts the cheeses and melds the flavors. Finally, shredded mozzarella cheese is added and baked further, giving a bubbly, browned cheese topping.
The dish offers a layered textural experience: the soft yet structured pasta, rich tomato sauce, creamy cottage cheese, and stretchy mozzarella. It can be served sliced like a savory pie, making it suitable for family meals or potlucks. The recipe allows freezing half for later use, providing convenience.
