MEATLESS SPAGHETTI PIE



Meatless Spaghetti Pie image

Pasta shows its versatility as a "pie crust" in Carol Beyerl's family-pleasing main dish. "This is a combination of several recipes. I came up with it when I didn't have all the ingredients to make any one of them," she writes from Ellensburg, Washington. A nice alternative to lasagna, the saucy entree doesn't taste light.

CHEESY SPAGHETTI PIE WITH MEAT SAUCE



Cheesy Spaghetti Pie with Meat Sauce image

Think of this pie as a vehicle for leftovers or those stray vegetables you have in your fridge! You could add cooked mushrooms or frozen peas or leftover cooked sausage or chicken. We use spaghetti here, but any long shape of pasta will work just as well.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
8 ounces spaghetti
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 small onion, chopped
1 small zucchini, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese (about 8 ounces)
1 cup grated low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425˚ F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with olive oil.
  • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and shake the colander to remove the excess water. Put the spaghetti in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the beaten eggs and 1/2 cup Parmesan, then toss.
  • While the spaghetti cooks, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and zucchini and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, 1 more minute. Crumble in the beef, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the oregano and red pepper flakes, then clear a spot in the center of the skillet and add the tomato paste. Let it toast for 30 seconds, then stir into the beef mixture. Add the tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then bring to a simmer and cook until very thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with more salt to taste.
  • To assemble the pie, transfer the spaghetti mixture to the pie plate and press to form a crust with a flat bottom and slightly higher sides. Spread the ricotta in the spaghetti crust, leaving a border around the edges. Spoon the meat sauce on top, then sprinkle with the mozzarella and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until the bottom and sides of the pie are golden and the cheese is browned, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 minutes before slicing.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
1 pound ground beef (85 percent lean)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cups marinara sauce, homemade or store-bought (I like Rao's)
1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 large eggs
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 cup shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-3-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 3 to 4 minutes less than the package recommends, so that it is very al dente. Drain and reserve.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef, 5 to 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the beef to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat and saute the onions until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the marinara, ricotta, parsley, eggs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the cooked spaghetti, beef and onions and toss to evenly coat. Transfer to the prepared pan, top with the mozzarella and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
  • Bake until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.

MEATLESS SPAGHETTI PIE



Meatless Spaghetti Pie image

I found this in the paper quite a few years back. I believe it's a Mr. Food recipe, but it obviously was printed with errors, because my first attempt was a bomb. I fooled around with it and this is what I have. Feel free to add any additional herbs to the ricotta, are any other ingredients you may like, but this does make a nice meat-free entree. A sald and some crusty bread and you're all set!
