We Love a Tasty Twist!

Italian food is always a go-to in our house – especially pasta dishes! We eat pasta for dinner at least once a week.

It’s fun to change things up and try new twists. That’s how this spaghetti pie was created! The spaghetti crust is layered with a ricotta filling, meat sauce, and melty cheese for an easy pasta recipe my kids LOVE!

Ingredients

PREP TIME: 20 minutes
COOK TIME: 20 minutes

• 6 ounces spaghetti – or use angel hair, bucatini, linguini. Cook the pasta al dente as they will continue to cook as the pie is baked in the oven. 
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup parmesan cheese – grated parmesan works best
• 1 cup ricotta cheese – or cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• ½ pound ground beef – or use ground chicken or turkey
• ½ pound mild Italian sausage – or use sweet or hot sausage
• 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 2 cups marinara sauce – store-bought or homemade Marinara Sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

How to Make Spaghetti Pie

1. PREP. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a deep dish pie plate.
2. SPAGHETTI. Cook 6 ounces of spaghetti according to the package directions, then drain.
   • Toss the spaghetti with 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 eggs, and ½ cup parmesan. Press it into a crust in the pie plate.
3. CHEESE MIXTURE. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1 teaspoon parsley, ½ teaspoon oregano, and ½ teaspoon basil. Spread the ricotta mixture over the spaghetti in the pie plate.
4. MEAT SAUCE. In a large skillet, cook ½ pound ground beef and ½ pound Italian sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
   • When the meat is cooked through, drain the grease. Add 1 (14-ounce) can of diced tomatoes and 2 cups marinara sauce to the skillet and stir to combine.
   • Pour the meat sauce over the ricotta layer, spreading evenly.
5. BAKE. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese over the top of the meat sauce. Bake 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
   • If the top browns too quickly, tent a piece of foil over the top of the pie to keep it from burning.
   • Let sit for ten minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.
