Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 2 pieces eggs
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
- 1 cup tomato sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get a nice, even bake.
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian herbs. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Press the spaghetti mixture into a pie pan, forming a crust along the bottom and sides.
- Pour the tomato sauce on top of the spaghetti crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pie is set and golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few moments, and serve hot.
Notes
Be careful not to overcook the spaghetti; it should be slightly firm since it will cook further in the oven. For a crisper pie, you can pre-bake the spaghetti crust for 10 minutes before adding the sauce. Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to the spaghetti mix for added nutrition and flavor.
