Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti, cooked and drained
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for ricotta mix)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups marinara sauce with meat (or plain sauce)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, melted butter, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and beaten eggs. Mix until the spaghetti is evenly coated.
  3. Press the spaghetti mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate 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, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread half of the marinara sauce over the spaghetti crust.
  6. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the sauce layer.
  7. Top the ricotta layer with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  8. Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the mozzarella layer.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.
  11. Let the spaghetti pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead meal, assemble the entire pie, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
  • This recipe freezes well. Wrap the cooled, baked pie tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating, or bake from frozen at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour 15 minutes, covered with foil.
  • Use your favorite jarred meat sauce or prepare a simple homemade sauce for the best flavor.
