Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Add the cooked spaghetti to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Grease a 9-inch springform pan or deep-dish pie pan with olive oil. Press the spaghetti mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly to form a 'crust' along the bottom and sides.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3–5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the marinara sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti crust, followed by half of the shredded mozzarella.
Pour the meat sauce over the mozzarella layer, spreading it out evenly.
Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to set before slicing.
Carefully release the springform pan (if using) and slice the spaghetti pie into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
