Pasta
The spaghetti is mixed with butter, eggs, and Parmesan cheese so that when it is pressed into the pie pan, it will hold and become the crust of the pie.
We use regular spaghetti, but you can use any long noodles, for example:
- Angel hair
- Bucatini
- dialect
We usually keep it classic and pair it with pasta. đ
How to make pasta pie
spaghetti. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain. Stir the pasta with melted butter, eggs and parmesan cheese. Press into the pie pan to form the crust.
Cheese mixture. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, parsley, oregano, and basil. Spread the ricotta and cheese mixture on the spaghetti in the pie pan.
Meat sauce. In a large frying pan, cook the ground beef and salami and drain (cut into small pieces when cooking). Add the chopped tomatoes and marinara sauce to the frying pan. Stir to mix. Spread the meat sauce evenly on the ricotta cheese layer, and then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on the meat sauce.
bake. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes (until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling). Let sit for ten minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.
Recipe tips
- Be sure to cook chewy pasta, because when the pies are baked in the oven, they will continue to cook.
- If the top starts to turn yellow before the pie is baked, cover the top of the pie with a piece of foil to prevent it from burning
- For gluten-free pies, try using zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. Be sure to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
Storage Tips + Tips
go ahead: Pasta is notorious for its frozen food, and this pasta pie is no exception. If you plan to freeze this dish, I suggest you use a disposable deep pie pan. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
When you are ready to use, put the frozen pie directly into the preheated oven. Bake for another 30 minutes, or until bubbling and hot throughout.
Leftovers: Divide leftovers into separate parts. Store these parts in airtight, freezer-safe containers (if applicable). Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for 2-3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven until the whole is hot. The time will vary depending on the size of the serving and the heating method used.
