Spaghetti pie was born out of a need to reuse leftover spaghetti, but that also means it makes for a great meal to prep ahead of time.

It’s also a kid-friendly way to serve spaghetti at the dinner table. It’s not nearly as messy as a big bowl of soup-covered pasta, and slicing it into wedges makes it a fun and simple weeknight meal.

Even better? It freezes really well, so any leftovers can be packed up for a quick dinner on an upcoming busy night.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons canned tomato paste
  • 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
  • 1 red bell pepper deseeded and diced
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
  • 2 egg
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 ounces grated pecorino romano

Instructions
 

Prep Ahead:

  • Cook the pasta halfway, drain, and rinse under cold water.
  • Make the sauce according to the directions, including the spinach and sausage.
  • Add the rinsed pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Set aside until cool enough to store.
  • Transfer the pasta and sauce to a resealable bag or container.
  • If needed, grate the pecorino romano and transfer to a resealable bag or container.
  • These items will last for up to 5 days in the fridge, and up to 2 months in the freezer.

Prepare From Prepped:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F.
  • Mix the eggs and parmesan cheese until combined.
  • Transfer the pasta and sauce to a large bowl.
  • Add the egg and cheese mixture and toss until evenly combined
  • Transfer everything to the pie tin or casserole dish.
  • Top with cheese, spreading evenly over the top of the mixture.
  • Bake 30-40 minutes until the cheese has started to melt and the sides of the pasta has begun to crisp.
  • Remove and let rest until cool enough to handle. Slice into wedges and serve.

Make From Fresh:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the spaghetti noodles.
  • Cook until halfway done, about 4 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
  • Slice the sausage into ¼” rounds and combine with crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, bell pepper in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Bring to a hard simmer, then lower to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and combined, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350*F.
  • Turn the heat off and add the spinach and basil, stirring until the spinach wilts into the sauce.
  • Add the rinsed pasta and toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and parmesan until blended, then stir into the pasta and sauce mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9×3” pie tin, or 8×8 casserole dish.
  • Top with grated pecorino romano, scattering the cheese evenly over the top.
  • Place in the oven and bake 30-40 minutes until the cheese has started to melt and the sides of the pasta has begun to crisp.
  • Remove and let rest until cool enough to handle. Slice into wedges and serve.

You work hard. Dinner should be easy.

At Percolate Kitchen, we believe that the “third shift” of getting dinner ready shouldn’t mean reinventing the wheel every evening.

Recipes on our site are broken down into simple, step-by-step processes so you can be flexible with your time- make the meal fresh, prep the ingredients to assemble and cook later, or do a little bit of both.
