Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 80 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 250 grams ricotta cheese
- 150 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams ground Italian sausage
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish with a little olive oil or butter and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and 60ml of the whole milk. Add the cooked spaghetti to the bowl and toss until fully coated.
In a medium frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground Italian sausage to the pan. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, remaining 60ml of milk, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
To assemble the pie, place the spaghetti mixture into the greased pie dish, pressing it into an even layer to form a 'crust.' Spread the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the spaghetti crust.
Pour the sausage marinara sauce over the ricotta layer, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Allow the spaghetti pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
