Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan with nonstick spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Stir the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the skillet with the beef. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, softened cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the cheese mixture and toss to coat the pasta evenly.
Spread the spaghetti mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish, pressing it into the sides and bottom to form a 'crust.'
Spoon the meat sauce evenly over the spaghetti crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove the spaghetti pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes to set.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Deluxe Spaghetti Pie!
