This Spaghetti Pie is the ultimate comfort-bake, tender spaghetti mixed with eggs and cheese to form a “crust,” topped with rich meat sauce and melted cheese. Fully tried-and-tested, no pork, no alcohol, and perfect for weeknight dinners or make-ahead meals.

Ingredients

For the Spaghetti Base

8 oz spaghetti

2 large eggs

1 cup shredded mozzarella

½ cup grated Parmesan

1 tablespoon butter, melted

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Meat Sauce

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce (no wine added)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For Topping

1–1½ cups mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook spaghetti according to package directions, then drain well.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Add spaghetti and mix until coated. Press this mixture into a greased pie dish to form a “crust.”

In a skillet, cook ground beef with onion until browned. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in marinara, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 5 minutes.

Spoon meat sauce over the spaghetti crust.

Top with mozzarella.

Bake for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and cheese is fully melted.

Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips

Drain spaghetti well so the crust sets properly.

Use full-fat mozzarella for the best melt.

Letting the pie rest helps slices stay clean.

Add red pepper flakes to the sauce for spice.
