Ingredients

• 8 ounces spaghetti
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 as needed cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat. This will form the crust for the pie.

Step 4

Press the spaghetti mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish, forming a crust on the bottom and sides of the dish.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes over low heat, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Spread the Ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti crust. Top with the meat sauce, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded Mozzarella cheese over the meat sauce.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the spaghetti pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
