Spaghetti Pie

My sister and I made dinner the other night and wanted to do something new.  After looking through our Pinterest boards we found the Today Show's recipe for Spaghetti Pie.  It was very easy and extremely tasty!! 


Ingredients:

12 ounces spaghetti, cooked, 1/2 cup cooking water reserved
1 pound ground beef
1 cup tomato paste, divided
3 large eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil


Steps:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large skillet, brown the hamburger.  Add 3/4 cup tomato paste and half the reserved water.  Stir well.  Should turn into a thick paste.  Add more reserved water as needed. 


In a large bowl, combine eggs, parmesan cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup tomato paste. Stir in the cooked spaghetti. 


Grease a 9 or 10 inch pie plate with the olive oil.  Spread half the meat mixture on the bottom.  Add the spaghetti mixture and press it down to level it.  Top with the remaining meat mixture.  Scatter remaining mozzarella cheese over the top. 


Bake for 30-35 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let sit about 10 minutes.  With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice pie into wedges and serve.  Extra marinara sauce for dipping is helpful.

Enjoy!
