Spaghetti Pie

 

 

Here's a variation of spaghetti made in a pie plate.  You can cut it easily into 'pie' slices for serving and it looks nice.  This recipe is simple to make and the spaghetti with the parmesan cheese mixed together for the 'crust' gives it a wonderful taste.   

 

6 oz spaghetti

2 Tablespoons butter

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 well-beaten eggs

1 cup cottage cheese (8 oz) optional

1 lb. ground meat

½ cup chopped onion

¼ cup chopped green pepper

1 8oz can tomatoes

1 6 oz can tomato paste

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tsp dried oregano

½ teaspoon garlic salt

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 ozs) 

Cook spaghetti as normal – drain.  Stir butter into hot spaghetti. Stir in parmesan cheese and eggs.  Butter a 10 inch pie plate.  Pour mixture in the bottom of pie plate to make the “crust”.  Spread cottage cheese over bottom of spaghetti crust. 

In skillet cook ground beef, onion, and green pepper until meat is done and vegetables are tender; drain fat out of pan.  Stir in tomatoes and liquid, then add tomato paste, sugar, oregano and garlic salt.  Heat throughout.   

Pour meat mixture over spaghetti crust.  Bake uncovered 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top then bake 5 minutes longer or till cheese is melted.  Cut in pie pieces to serve.
