Ingredients

For the Crust

3 cups cooked spaghetti Use leftover pasta for a quick base, or cook fresh for best results
2 large eggs Helps bind the crust together; can substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Provides creaminess; feel free to use cheddar or a blend instead
1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavor of the crust; adjust to taste if desired

For the Filling

1 lb ground beef (or turkey) Choose your meat preference; vegetarian crumbles work as a great alternative
1 small onion (diced) Adds sweetness and depth; shallots can be substituted for a milder flavor
2 cloves garlic (minced) Fresh garlic infuses delicious aroma; use 1 teaspoon garlic powder if fresh isn't available
24 oz marinara sauce Use your favorite store-bought brand or homemade for extra love in this spaghetti pie recipe
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning A blend of herbs that adds authentic Italian flavor; use individual herbs like basil and oregano too

For Topping

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Melts beautifully on top, but feel free to experiment with provolone or Parmesan
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Adds a salty kick; nutritional yeast can replace it for a dairy-free option
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish) Provides freshness and color; you can omit if you're not a fan of herbal flavors

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
Mix together eggs, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Stir until well combined.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the cheese mixture. Gently fold everything together until every strand is coated.
Grease a pie dish or oven-safe skillet with cooking spray or butter.
Spoon the spaghetti mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly to create a nice layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
