Spaghetti Pie

This is such a fun dish to make, and super easy.

Recipe:
8 oz. Spaghetti
3 tablespoons Butter
2 Eggs
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
1 jar Spaghetti Sauce
1 1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

Cook spaghetti until almost done, drain and stir butter into hot pasta, set aside.
While pasta is cooling, butter a 9 inch pie pan.  Heat oven to 350.
Beat eggs with parmesan cheese.  Stir into cooked pasta.  Transfer pasta to pie pan and arrange into a crust.  Spread ricotta cheese into the center of the spaghetti crust.  (At this point you can add spinach, cooked sausage or ground beef, or anything else to the pie) Top with spaghetti sauce.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Cool 5 minutes and serve.

This is so delicious, the flavor is like lasagna, but much easier to make.  I like to add spinach to mine.  When I have fresh spinach, I just steam it for a few minutes to wilt it, and then pat it dry before putting it on top of the ricotta.

Spaghetti pie is one of my favorite comfort foods.  Mmmmm...
