Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease with butter.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions until just al dente. Drain, and return to the pot.
Add the butter to the hot spaghetti and toss until melted and evenly coated. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the cooled spaghetti and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the prepared pie dish. Use a spoon or your hands to press it into the dish, forming a 'crust' along the bottom and up the sides.
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti crust.
Spoon 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce over the ricotta layer, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, covering the marinara sauce completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and lightly golden on top.
Let the spaghetti pie cool for 5-10 minutes to set before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm, garnished with the remaining marinara sauce (heated) and fresh basil leaves if desired.
