Spaghetti Pie
Description
To make Spaghetti Pie, cooked spaghetti is tossed with butter, eggs, and Parmesan to form a crust pressed into a pie plate. A layer of ricotta cheese mixed with parsley and basil sits atop, providing creaminess and herbaceous flavor. The meat sauce, consisting of browned ground beef and onion simmered with diced tomatoes and pasta sauce, is spread over the ricotta layer.
The assembled dish bakes at 350°F until heated through, then is topped with shredded mozzarella cheese and baked again until melted and slightly browned. The final product features a firm spaghetti crust, creamy cheese layers, and richly flavored meat sauce, making it a filling main dish suitable for family dinners.
