Spaghetti Pie

[Guest guest]

3/4 C cooked spaghetti noodles

2/3 C grated Parmesan cheese, divided

2 eggs, beaten

3 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 C ricotta cheese

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 C marinara sauce

1/3 C shredded mozzarella cheese

 

 

Preheat oven to 350° F.

 

Combine noodles, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, butter, parsley, and

salt. Press the mixture on the bottom and up the sides of a large pie

plate, to form a crust out of the pasta. In a large bowl mix the

ricotta cheese with the remaining Parmesan, the Italian seasoning

salt and pepper. Spread the cheese mixture over the spaghetti crust.

Pour the marinara sauce over the cheese. Cover the edges of the crust

loosely with strips of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Bake

for about 25 minutes. Remove foil from edges of pie and sprinkle

mozzarella cheese over the top of the pie. Return the pie to the oven

for about 5 minutes or until cheese has melted and slightly browned.

Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
