Make this hearty, sliceable spaghetti pie for a comforting family dinner or potluck favorite. It features a cheesy spaghetti crust, savory meat sauce, and a creamy ricotta layer, all baked with melted mozzarella on top.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, beaten eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Toss until the spaghetti is evenly coated.
  3. Press the spaghetti mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form a crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  4. While the crust bakes, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the bottom of the baked spaghetti crust.
  6. Spoon the meat sauce over the ricotta layer. Spread it gently to cover the cheese layer.
  7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the meat sauce.
  8. Return the pie to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  9. Let the spaghetti pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the pie hold its shape.

Notes

  • You can prepare the meat sauce and cheese filling a day ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator.
  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the entire pie, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the total bake time if baking from cold.
  • This recipe freezes well. Wrap the cooled, baked pie tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating, covered, at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through.
