Best Kittencals Spaghetti Pie Recipes
KITTENCAL'S SPAGHETTI PIE
You will need a minimum 2-quart round casserole dish for this or this will also fit into an 11 x 7-inch baking pan this will *not* fit into a regular 9 or 10-inch pie plate --- with this or with any recipe made from scratch preparation time takes a little extra effort, to save some time and to blend the flavors prepare the tomato sauce mixture up to a day in advance and refrigerate until ready to use --- substituting prepared pasta sauce for the tomato sauce will not produce the best results I would strongly recommend using only tomato sauce, this recipe was tested both ways and the tomato sauce version was the best! --- NOTE this also may be made without the cottage cheese filling by placing the sauce directly over the spaghetti top with mozzarella cheese and reducing the baking time only slightly

Steps:
- Grease a round 2-quart casserole dish or an 11 x 7-inch baking dish.

- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes stirring occasionally, season with more salt to taste if desired.
- Meanwhile cook the spaghetti in boiling water until almost tender (undercook the spaghetti as it will soften up even more when baked in the oven) drain in a colander then rinse under cold water, drain well again then place into a large bowl.
- Add in melted butter, garlic powder, eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and black pepper; using clean hands toss/mix until well combined (use hands for mixing spaghetti this will not work with a spoon) season with salt to taste if desired.
- TO ASSEMBLE; spread the spaghetti mixture evenly into bottom of the pie plate, pressing down with hands to flatten.
- In a bowl mix 2 cups cottage cheese with 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1 cup mozzarella cheese cheese then spread over the spaghetti.

KITTENCAL'S CHILI SPAGHETTI
Nothing fancy about the chili but it's a darn good recipe to serve over pasta, I strongly suggest to make the chili mixture a day ahead and refrigerate, the flavor really does get stronger and better! Adjust the chili powder to taste, I use half chili powder and half ancho chili powder for a more smokey flavor, for more heat add in dried chili flakes. Although the ingredients listed make a really great chili mixture, you can add in other ingredients to create your favorite chili if desired! You can use ground turkey in place of ground beef, this is also great with penne or rigatoni pasta, see my recipe#168653

Steps:
- In a large skillet cook the ground beef with green bell peppers, onions, garlic, celery and jalapeno peppers stirring with a wooden spoon until beef is no longer pink; drain.
- Add in the chili powder, cumin and beef bouillon powder; cook stirring with wooden spoon for another 5 minutes, or until the ground beef is well browned.
- Add in tomatoes with juice, beans with juice, crushed tomatoes and taco sauce; cook uncovered over low heat breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon for about 1-1/2-2 hours, season with lots of salt and black pepper (you can really simmer this for as long as you want to over low heat until as thick as you like, just make certain to simmer it uncovered, the longer you cook the chili the richer and thicker it will be!).
- Divide the cooked pasta in bowls, then ladle the chili mixture on top, then sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Delicious!

KITTENCAL'S DELICIOUS MEATY PASTA SAUCE
I don't think you will find a better meat sauce than this one! a good tomato sauce needs time to "ripen" so I strongly suggest to make this sauce a few day ahead and refrigerate just warm in a saucepan before using you will see that the flavors strongly intensify after refrigeration time --if you want a creamy sauce just add in 1/4 cup or more of heavy whipping cream the last 30 minutes of cooking time, this may be doubled if desired but keep the ground beef amount at one pound, this also freezes well... you will *love* this!

KITTENCAL'S TURKEY OR CHICKEN POT PIE
This filling is also wonderful served over baked puff pastry shells or Texas toast instead of baking in a pie shell --- make two and freeze one for another meal! to save time you may cook the potatoes a day ahead and refrigerate, since the bouillon powder has a high sodium content do not add in any salt until the end of cooking ;-)
