Make this hearty, sliceable Spaghetti Pie for a comforting family dinner or potluck favorite. It features a crispy pasta crust, savory meat sauce, and layers of creamy, melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti, cooked and drained
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups prepared meat sauce (beef or Italian sausage)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and beaten eggs. Mix until the spaghetti is evenly coated.
  3. Press the spaghetti mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate to form a crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes until it sets slightly.
  4. While the crust bakes, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, softened cream cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Spread half of the meat sauce evenly over the partially baked spaghetti crust.
  6. Spread the ricotta cheese mixture over the meat sauce layer.
  7. Top the ricotta layer with half of the mozzarella cheese.
  8. Spoon the remaining meat sauce over the mozzarella.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
  10. Return the pie to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  11. Let the spaghetti pie cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the structure set for clean slices.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead meal, assemble the entire pie, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • You can freeze the assembled, unbaked pie for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking, or bake from frozen by adding about 30 minutes to the total cook time.
  • If you want crispier edges, brush the exposed spaghetti crust lightly with olive oil before the initial 10-minute bake.
