Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan with olive oil.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking. Let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the egg and cheese mixture, tossing gently to coat the noodles evenly.
Transfer half of the spaghetti mixture into the prepared pie dish, pressing it down in an even layer.
Spread 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce over the layer of spaghetti.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Top with the remaining half of the spaghetti mixture, pressing it down gently.
Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce over the top layer of spaghetti and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the spaghetti pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
