Awhile back, I posted a recipe for Spaghetti Pie, and the photos were pretty bad. They were taken with my Olympus point and shoot camera. If you want to see the very bad photos of Spaghetti Pie click here to see the recipe.

I plan on going back through some recipes I took in 2013 and re-posting the recipes again with better images. There's nothing wrong with posting the same recipe over again. I like making a recipe more than once if I really like it. This recipe, I really REALLY liked it.

Why You Will Like This Recipe

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 Bread to serve with the pie and a side of Air 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.
• See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Can you make spaghetti pie make this low carb?

Yes, you can! Use spaghetti squash instead of noodles. Just cook a spaghetti squash and once that's cooled add the egg, cottage cheese, and parmesan to squash and mix it up. Place that on the bottom of the pie plate. Smart Points would be 5 using spaghetti squash. It will help lower the points to 5.
