If you’ve never had Spaghetti Pie before, you’re in for a treat! We make this spaghetti pie casserole all the time, not only is it one of my kids favorite meals, but it’s great for giving away as well.

I don’t like spaghetti that much, however I LOVE spaghetti pie! Go figure, eh? I first had a spaghetti pie casserole when my wonderful mother-in-law brought it for me after my son Luke was born. This is her recipe and I promise you, you’ll love it.

Spaghetti Pie

Baked spaghetti pie is the greatest dish to bring to a family with young kids, or any family! If you are pasta lovers like we are, you will also love our easy spaghetti carbonara or our favorite Italian pasta salad!

I also love how it can be made with or without meat. I am not a huge carnivore and I love that you don’t even miss the meat in this meal when you remove it because it is still so filling and delicious. 

Spaghetti Pie Recipe

Are you ready for the easy steps of how to make baked spaghetti pie? See below for a simple, easy to follow picture tutorial.

Top Left – While noodles are cooking, crack your egg into a small bowl and scramble it with a fork. 

Top Right – Drain cooked noodles and add to a medium sized bowl. 

Bottom Left – Add butter and egg to noodles and stir quickly to combine.

Bottom Right – Add cheese and seasonings to noodle mixture.

Top Left – Mix until incorporated. 

Top Right – Add noodle mixture to the bottom of a greased pie tin, and press down with a fork to compress noodles. 

Bottom Left – Add your cottage cheese into a smooth layer. 

Bottom Right – If you are using meat, add that now. If not, just add your sauce on top. I like to garnish my pie with a little parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Pro Tips for Baked Spaghetti

  • I love that this dish can be made ahead! You can make one a day or two in advance and store in the fridge until ready to bake. 
  • Spaghetti Pie is very flexible. If you want more cheese, add it. Don’t like basil? Leave it out. Want more seasonings? You get the picture. I love the versatility of this dish and make it however I feel that day. 
  • You can freeze spaghetti pie. If freezing, make sure you only cook your noodles to al dente. Once your pie is assembled, cover with tin foil (before baking) and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake thaw overnight in the fridge or cook from frozen at 375 degrees for about an hour and a half. 
  • If you want a macro friendly version, try using protein noodles, ground turkey and low fat cottage cheese. My kids don’t even notice when I do this! 
  • Serve with fresh bread and a yummy salad!

Ingredients

  • 7 Oz Dry Spaghetti Noodles
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 TBS Butter
  • 1 TBS Fresh Basil
  • 2 TBS Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 Tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic Salt
  • 1 1/2 Cups Cottage Cheese
  • 24 Oz Spaghetti Sauce
  • Cooked Meat of Choice Optional

Instructions

  • Grease your pan (it doesn't have to be a pie tin, it can be a 8x8 pan, or whatever you have around.) And cook your spaghetti as the package dictates.
  • While noodles are cooking, use a fork to scramble an egg in a large bowl. After noodles are cooked, drain them, and add them to your egg. Then add your butter and mix thoroughly. Next, add basil and Parmesan cheese. Add pepper and garlic salt.
  • Next, spray your pan and dump in your spaghetti mixture. Press noodles down with a fork, trying to compress your mixture.
  • Add a layer of cottage cheese over your pie.
  • Add a layer of spaghetti sauce over the top of your cottage cheese. You can use canned or homemade. If you'd like sprinkle a little Parmesan as a garnish.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. If you need to shorten the time, just up the temperature. Enjoy!

    Just made this for dinner tonight! it was SO easy and delicious! I used ricotta cheese instead of cottage because that’s what I had on hand, and it was still great! I think my egg might have been a little small and it would have held together better if I had used two, but it was still super delicious! Thank you so much!!!
