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
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups prepared meat sauce (or marinara sauce)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, melted butter, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  3. Add the beaten eggs to the spaghetti mixture and toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
  4. Press the egg-coated spaghetti mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form a crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  5. While the crust bakes, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, softened cream cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread half of the meat sauce evenly over the spaghetti crust.
  7. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture over the meat sauce layer.
  8. Top the ricotta layer with the remaining meat sauce.
  9. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer of sauce.
  10. Return the pie to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  11. Let the spaghetti pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the entire pie, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the bake time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • This recipe freezes well. Wrap the cooled, baked pie tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating, covered, at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through.
  • If you do not have meat sauce, use your favorite marinara sauce and add 1 cup of cooked ground beef or Italian sausage to the sauce layer.
