Spaghetti Pie... it tastes better the 2nd day... so make ahead!
Italians are apt not to waste anything, especially not leftover pasta (if there is any!). A dozen eggs and lots of parmesan cheese envelop the spaghetti in this recipe to create a perfect one dish meal. If you don’t have leftover spaghetti, feel free to make up a new batch. We won’t tell. Served warm or at room temperature, spaghetti pie can be a great appetizer or main dish served with a crisp salad.
12 servings
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 pound spaghetti
salt, for pasta
12 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, very finely minced
½ cup Italian parsley, chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Equipment
9” x 12” baking dish, preferably glass€
Preparation
Lightly grease the inside of a 9” x 12” baking dish with the butter. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Prepare the spaghetti according to the package directions and undercook by 2 or 3 minutes. It should be very al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water. Set aside.
Beat the eggs lightly to combine. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, finely minced garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
[Chef’s Note: Be sure not to add too much salt as the cheese has plenty of salt already.]
Add the egg mixture to the spaghetti and mix until all the spaghetti is well blended with the eggs. Pour into the buttered baking dish and spread the spaghetti mixture evenly in the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until the eggs are completely set. Uncover the spaghetti pie and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake, uncovered, for another 5 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool.
Service
Spaghetti pie is best served at room temperature. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If longer storage is required, it can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then in foil and placed in the freezer for up to a month. Thaw and bring back to room temperature before serving.
Variations
Spaghetti pie is one of those delightful recipes that can be creatively adapted to individual tastes. Feel free to add your own special ingredients such as pepperoni, prosciutto, maple ham, sun dried tomatoes, blanched vegetables or other types of grated cheese. You can also substitute whole wheat or spinach spaghetti, or even linguine or fettucine.

Betty Crocker actually has a cook book called Good and Easy cook book. You may want to snoop around at a book store for it. If you can watch some of the food network shows, like Rachel Ray, she has some great ideas and any recipe on those shows can be gotten off line. Check with your local college. Many have adult education courses and there may be one on beginner cooking. Also, many products like Bisquick or canned soup and even boxes of cheese have recipes on them. They pay a lot of money to folks to develop those recipes. They are usually simple and good. My 2 daughters used Bisquick and the recipes on there a lot. And once you start to cook, you will get the hang of it and will want to experiment. There are tons of recipes on line, and great cook books at libraries and even second hand stores carry book, for cheap. Check out Goodwill or Salvation Army stores
Chili
1 lb ground beef
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can black beans, drained
1/2 package chili seasoning mix
--Brown ground beef in pot with onion and garlic. When beef is cooked thorougly add rest of ingredients and stir to combine. Simmer over medium-low heat for at least 15 minutes stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better.
One of my mom's favorite things to do is buy an already cooked rotisserie chicken. You can have that for dinner one night with salad, baked potatoes, bread, etc. The leftovers she shreds and uses within a few days in cooked egg noodles for chicken and noodles.
These potatoes are a great, quick side dish for any sort of meat. Wash and cube 2 potatoes. Place pieces into microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 4 minutes, stir, and microwave for another 3-4 minutes. While microwaving potatoes, heat oil or butter over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add potatoes to skillet straight from microwave and fry until as crispy as you like them. I like them almost entirely brown so I fry them for about 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, and/or paprika.
Chicken Fried Rice
3 chicken breasts (in bite size pieces)
1/4 cup onions (chopped)
1 large carrot (cubed)
1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
4 cups cooked rice
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 tablespoons butter (softened)
1/2 teaspoon oil
2 1/4 teaspoons sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 eggs
--Heat wok to medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray and scramble the eggs. Once done, chop and set aside. Add oil to wok and sauté chicken, onion, green onion, and carrots until done. Return eggs to wok and mix well. Mix rice with other ingredients. Add sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. Stir in butter and soy sauce. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
*I made this without the carrot and with ALOT more soy sauce. Adjust to your taste.
Enjoy!
