Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g spaghetti
- 3 large eggs
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 150 ml marinara sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooled spaghetti to the egg mixture and toss until the noodles are fully coated.
Using tongs or a fork, twirl a portion of the spaghetti and place it into each cavity of the prepared muffin tin. Press gently to help the spaghetti form into muffin shapes.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each spaghetti muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the spaghetti muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes.
Gently loosen the muffins with a butter knife and transfer them to a serving plate.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
