Spaghetti and Meatball Pie
- 2 Eggs, Beaten
- 1/2 pounds Leftover Cooked Spaghetti Noodles
- 1- 1/2 cup Leftover Pasta Sauce (might Need An Additional 1/2 Cup)
- 1- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 20 Leftover Cooked Meatballs, Medium Size, Chopped
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 6 Leftover Cooked Meatballs, Cut In Half
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs together.
- Add spaghetti noodles, sauce, and both cheeses; stir to combine.
- Pour half of the spaghetti mixture into the prepared springform pan.
- Add chopped meatballs, then add the remaining spaghetti mixture, and finish by topping off the layers with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Press everything down to make it compact.
- Dot the top with the halved meatballs.
- Cover springform pan with foil and place on a rimmed sheet pan.
- Bake for 55 minutes then remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese browns nicely on top.
- Remove from oven and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes (30 is even better).
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Note: I prefer to serve extra sauce on the side and not add too much to the casserole itself.
- If the pie is too wet, it wont slice nicely.
- You can make this without meatballs, or substitute Italian sausage instead of the meatballs.
- Sauteed mushrooms and chopped basil would be great additions as well.
- Recipe makes one 9-inch springform pan that will serve 8-12.
