What follow is my grandmother’s recipe for spaghetti pie. This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. My grandmother would make this for me and my cousins when we were younger. Generally speaking this is a recipe that I have left untouched over the years. Most recipes I tend to tweak to my desires. This is comfort food pure and simple. So what I will do for you today is share my grandmother’s recipe as is, and in italics share with you the changes I made in it for tonight’s go.
Spaghetti Pie
- 6 ounces spaghetti (angel hair noodles), cooked
- 2 tablespoons margarine (butter)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and more for sprinkling on top

- 1-32 ounce jar spaghetti sauce or your own homemade sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Add margarine to hot spaghetti, add Parmesan cheese and well beaten eggs. Mix well.
Spread spaghetti mixture in a greased 10 inch pie pan to make a crust.
