Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2.5 cups marinara sauce
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter and set aside.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese. Add the cooled spaghetti and toss to coat evenly.
Press the spaghetti mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish, forming a crust-like base. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, black pepper, basil, and oregano. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti crust. Spoon the meat sauce on top of the ricotta layer, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the meat sauce.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Allow the spaghetti pie to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
