Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Spaghetti
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Fat-free ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 oz Lean ground turkey
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 small Garlic clove, minced
- 1 14 oz can Crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- Cooking spray
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg and stir in Parmesan cheese. Once the spaghetti has cooled enough to handle, mix it with the egg and Parmesan mixture to coat evenly. Press the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out to form a crust that goes up the sides of the dish slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray and cook the lean ground turkey until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes longer.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to marry the flavors.
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti crust. Top with the meat sauce, spreading it out evenly, and then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let the spaghetti pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve. Enjoy!
