Spaghetti Pie
There is nothing like a new spin on spaghetti for Italian night. I fell in love with this dish when I was a kid. Although it is a little more prep than regular spaghetti, in my opinion, it is worth it.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 eggs well beaten
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 lb ground beef or bulk pork sausage
- ½ cup onion chopped
- ¼ cup sweet pepper chopped
- 7.5 ounces canned tomatoes diced
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano crushed
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- 8 ounces cream style cottage cheese drained
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded (2 ounces)
Instructions
- Cook spaghetti according to package directions, then drain. (You should have about 3 ½ cups of spaghetti) Stir butter into hot spaghetti. Stir in eggs and parmesan cheese. Press spaghetti into a buttered 10 inch pie plate and form the crust.
- In a large skillet over medium heat cook the beef, onion and sweet pepper until vegetables are tender and meat is brown. Drain off the fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano and garlic salt. Heat through.
- Spread cottage cheese over bottom of the prepared spaghetti crust. Top with the meat mixture.
- Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake 5 more minutes or until the cheese is melted.
