Baked Spaghetti Pie is an easy and delicious dinner recipe. Al dente spaghetti topped with meat sauce and layer of melty cheese.

Ingredients  

  • 1 pound 80-85% ground beef
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Add 1 pound 80-85% ground beef to a large skillet and brown over medium-high heat. Once browned, add 1 green bell pepper and 1 small yellow onion (both chopped) and simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the beef is thoroughly cooked and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add 24 ounces marinara sauce to the beef mixture and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Meanwhile, cook and drain 8 ounces spaghetti according to the package instructions for al dente.
  • Once the pasta is done cooking, beat 1 large egg in a large bowl and add in the ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Toss the spaghetti in the egg mixture until evenly coated.
  • Spray a 9 or 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray and add in the pasta. Use your hands to gently work the spaghetti into a crust and up the sides of the dish.
  • Spoon the meat sauce mixture over the pasta.
  • Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Slice with a sharp knife and serve.
