Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp chopped herbs (e.g., parsley, basil)
- 2 cups meat sauce (ground beef or sausage)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions, then drain and let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine the warm spaghetti with melted butter, grated parmesan, and beaten eggs. Toss until well coated.
- Grease a pie dish and press the spaghetti mixture firmly into it to form a crust.
- In another bowl, stir together ricotta, softened cream cheese, and chopped herbs. Spread this mixture over the crust.
- Spoon the meat sauce over the ricotta layer and spread it evenly.
- Finish with a layer of shredded mozzarella on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a richer crust, use extra parmesan or a tablespoon of olive oil. Choose ground beef or Italian sausage for the meat sauce; turkey or plant-based crumbles are also good options.
