Ingredients

• 16 oz spaghetti
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 28 oz crushed tomatoes
• 6 oz tomato paste
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with melted butter. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking them apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the grated parmesan cheese. Stir the egg mixture into the cooked spaghetti until evenly coated.

Step 7

Begin layering in the prepared springform pan: Press half of the spaghetti mixture into the bottom of the pan to form an even base layer.

Step 8

Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti layer, followed by half of the meat sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Add the remaining spaghetti mixture, pressing it down gently. Top with the remaining meat sauce and finish with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are lightly browned.

Step 11

Let the spaghetti pie cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to set. Carefully release the springform pan and slide the spaghetti pie onto a serving plate.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
