This Spaghetti Pie recipe is a savory, cheesy delight that turns your favorite pasta dish into a comforting, baked pie. With a crispy pasta crust, layered with marinara sauce, ground beef, and melted cheese, this dish is perfect for a family dinner or a fun twist on classic spaghetti.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz spaghetti pasta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey for a leaner option)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (or homemade tomato sauce)
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to package directions, drain, and set aside. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, beaten eggs, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine, creating a cheesy pasta mixture.
  • Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared pie dish, pressing it down gently to form a “crust” for the pie.
  • Spread the meat sauce mixture evenly over the pasta.
  • Top the pie with the remaining mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese (if using).
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Let the spaghetti pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and add sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach.
  • You can make this dish ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
  • Feel free to swap out the ricotta for cream cheese for a creamier texture.
