My first recipe! Spaghetti Pie!

So this is an easy weeknight recipe. It's great because these are ingredients you usually have on hand at home. Originally found at: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spaghetti-Pie-2/Detail.aspx

You will need:

6 ounces spaghetti, cooked

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 eggs, well beaten

3/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese, divided

1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese

1 cup pasta sauce

1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Note: When I first got into cooking, I used to follow recipes to the T. Now I pay no attention... so put as much sauce and cheese as you want!

Directions

1. Toss spaghetti with olive oil in large bowl. Stir in eggs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Pour spaghetti mixture into greased pie plate; form into a crust. Like so:

2. Spoon ricotta cheese over spaghetti crust.

3. Top with pasta sauce.

4. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven 25 minutes. Top with Mozzarella cheese. Bake 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Cool 10 minutes before cutting.

5. TA DA! Spaghetti Pie!

NOTE: The outer edges of spaghetti did become a little crispy while baking. To avoid this, you can cover the WHOLE top with ricotta and sauce - but then you lose the fun pie-looking aspect of the dish. You can also bake this in a regular dish too - doesn't have to be a pie plate!
