Most pies out there are sweet pies,but this Spaghetti pie will change your mind about that. A pie can be on the savory side,and taste pretty damn good actually. Spaghetti pie,is like a layered lasagna dish,but instead,it’s all in a pie layered with noodles,cheese,and meat.
And guess what? Unlike lasagna,you just make the layers once! It’s super easy to put together once you have all the three components of the layers all prepped. The only downside of this meal is all the dishes after,but just give that duty to your SO since you spent so much time working on their dinner.
Make some Air Fryer Garlic Breadto serve with the pie and a side ofAir Fryer Asparagus.
Ingredients Needed for Spaghetti Pie
- Spaghetti is usually made from wheat flour and water,and sometimes also contains eggs.
- Egg –The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs,while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Parmesan cheese,divided –Parmesan cheese is a hard,granular cheese that originated in Italy. It is typically made from cow’s milk and has a sharp,nutty flavor. Parmesan cheese is often grated and used as a topping for pasta dishes,salads,and other foods.
- Low fat cottage cheese–is a type of cheese made from the curds of cow’s milk. It is known for its crumbly texture and mild,slightly tangy taste. Cottage cheese is a great source of protein,calcium,and vitamins B12 and D,making it a healthy addition to any diet.
- Italian turkey sausage –can also sub lean ground beef
- Marinara sauce –Store-bought jarred marinara sauce is convenient to have at home for a quick meal. My favorite marinara sauce is always Rao’s because it has all clean ingredients on the back of the ingredients list. You can also use my recipe for Basic Marinara Sauce.
- Shredded low fat mozzarella cheese,divided–I like to use Reduced-Fat Cheese because it has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese,but it may also have a different taste and texture. It also helps with keeping the calorie count pretty low for this recipe.
