Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ pound ground beef
  • ½ pound mild Italian sausage
  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a deep dish pie plate.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Notes

Make ahead of time. If you are planning to freeze this dish I recommend using a deep disposable pie pan. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.To reheat, place the frozen pie straight into the preheated oven. Bake for an extra 30 minutes or until bubbly and hot throughout.
STORE. Divide leftovers into individual portions. Store the portions in airtight containers and refrigerate for 3-4 days.
FREEZE. Divide portions into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2-3 months.
Reheat in the microwave or oven until hot throughout. Time will vary depending on the portion size and heating method used.
