Spaghetti Pie Recipe


If you like to eat spaghetti, but get tired of eating it the same way over and over again, try something new and make spaghetti pie. There are so many different spaghetti pie recipes out there for you. I’m going to list a recipe that has a few different kinds of cheese.  When choosing your cheese to add into the spaghetti, feel free to buy light cheese to save on some calories. This is a relatively easy recipe to use even if you are a novice when it comes to cooking. The only downfall to this recipe is that the prep work can be time consuming. 


The name of this dish is called three cheese spaghetti pie. When you make a dish like this the easiest thing to do is gather everything you will be using and the ingredients you need so that they are easily accessible.
Ingredients
  3/4lb. spaghetti noodles
 9 tablespoons of olive oil
5 garlic cloves quartered
1 sliced onion
4 eggs
1 cup cream
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 oz. of fontina cheese grated
8 oz. of feta cheese crumbled
8 oz. of parmesan cheese shredded

Follow these directions to have yourself a delicious spaghetti pie dinner which you and your family will enjoy. Before you start to make the wonderful dish preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Cook your spaghetti noodles until they are soft and then drain, put back in the pot, and set aside to use later.  Next you need to heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet and add the garlic and onion. Add salt and pepper; and, when the garlic and onion is cooked remove them from the heat and set them aside to use later. Using a medium sized bowl beat the eggs and the cream, and mix until well blended. Add the salt, pepper, and the different cheeses.   Only add in 4oz. of the parmesan, add in the garlic and onion, and the spaghetti noodles.  In an oven safe skillet, heat up oil and add the spaghetti mixture.   Cook for about 5 minutes and then place in the oven for an additional 30 minutes. When the pie is done remove it from the oven and let it stand for about 10 minutes. You then need to slide a spatula all around the sides and the bottom to help loosen it up. Then take a large dish and place on top of the skillet and flip the skillet and plate over and the spaghetti should slide right out. Take another plate and put it on top of the spaghetti again and flip it again. Then you need to let it stand for another ten minutes. The reason that you had to flip it twice was to help distribute the cheeses evenly throughout the whole pie.  Add the rest of the parmesan to the top of the pie, slice it up and enjoy.
