How To Make Spaghetti Pie

1. Prepare for baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F, and spray a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Cook the sausage and onion: Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and onion and saute using a spatula to break up the sausage. Cook until the sausage is cooked through and the onion is soft.
3. Add the pasta and sauce: To the skillet, add the pasta sauce and garlic cloves. Bring the heat down to a simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
4. Make the binding mix: While the sauce is simmering, add the butter, spaghetti, Italian herbs, and salt into a bowl. Stir to fully combine. Then, add the parmesan cheese and eggs until mixed through and completely coated.
5. Par bake the pasta: Press the cooked pasta into the prepared baking dish and make a divet in the center. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
6. Combine the cheeses: Stir the mozzarella with the cottage cheese until fully combined and set aside.
7. Assemble the spaghetti pie: Pour the sausage and pasta sauce mixture into the center of the spaghetti pie. Spread it out evenly, then spread the cottage cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
8. Bake and serve: Return the spaghetti pie to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until it’s warmed through and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Slice and serve with a garnish of fresh parsley.

Recipe Tips

1. Make sure you follow the directions for your individual box of pasta as they all are different.
2. Your sausage should be cooked most of the way through when browning. The rest of the cooking will happen in the oven and as the sauce is simmering.
3. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a larger crowd.
4. Consider serving this spaghetti pie with a side salad or some cheesy garlic bread.
5. If your spaghetti pie is looking a bit too dry when it’s done, add a spoonful of pasta sauce to each slice before serving.

Variations

• Try using ground beef or turkey in place of the sausage.
• If you’re not a fan of cottage cheese, replace it with ricotta cheese.
• Add some sauteed mushrooms to the spaghetti pie for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
• Swap out the mozzarella cheese for cheddar, brie, or gouda.
• Add a layer of cooked ground beef or turkey before the spaghetti and sauce for an even heartier dish.
• Give it some spice by adding crushed red pepper flakes to the sausage and sauce mixture.
• Make a vegetarian spaghetti pie by omitting the sausage and leaving the meat out completely. You can add additional vegetables to create more volume and texture.
