I’ve been looking for a really good baked spaghetti kind of recipe and think I may have found it! I found it on Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. I modified it only slightly (I like less “crust” and more sauce). Her recipe makes 2 “pies” and she says it freezes great, but here are the instructions for one pie. It’s easily doubled if you want to make two.
Spaghetti Pie
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1/3 pound spaghetti noodles, cooked
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
Filling:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 36 oz. spaghetti sauce (about 1 1/2 jars)
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine cooked noodles, butter, Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Spread into and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plates and set aside. (I just boiled my noodles, drained them, added them back to the pot and mixed in all the other stuff.)
- In a pan, brown ground beef until done. Drain off any fat and add spaghetti sauce to the meat. Mix well and set aside.
- Spread cottage cheese over the noodle crusts. And then spread meat mixture over the crust.
- Spread mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until set and cheese is melted.
- Let sit for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving. This helps it set up and will make it easier to serve.
- Enjoy!
