My entire family loves spaghetti. Come to think of it, I don't know anyone who doesn't!
With this recipe, you get all the delicious flavors of spaghetti plus all the fun of pie! Even better than that, this recipe comes in at a low 290 calories per serving! Woot!
Serve this spaghetti pie along with a healthy salad and some chopped veggies and low-cal dip and you have a summer dinner that won't weight you down and that everyone will love.

SPAGHETTI PIE {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
Serves 6 Prep time: approximately 20 minutes Bake time: 30 minutes
8 ounces dry spaghetti of your choosing (I used whole grain)
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon of water.
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus 2 tablespoons for topping.
½ pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 cups sliced mushrooms (I used baby Bella)
¾ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano *see note*
1 teaspoon dried basil *see note*
1 ½ cups prepared marinara sauce
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
¾ cup shredded, fat-free mozzarella
-Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions (minus 2 minutes) and drain. Cool Slightly.
-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
-Spray a deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray.
-Add the beaten egg and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese in with the pasta and mix well.
-Press the spaghetti into the prepared pie pan.
-In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for approximately 5 minutes.
-Add the sliced mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil and continue cooking an additional 2-3 minutes. *Note - To release more flavor from the dried herbs, crush them in the palm of your hand before adding them into the dish.*
-Stir in the prepared marinara sauce.
-Dollop the ricotta cheese over the spaghetti in the pan.
-Using the back of a spoon, spread the ricotta evenly over the spaghetti.
-Spoon on the ground beef and marinara mixture to evenly coat the spaghetti.
-Sprinkle the top evenly with mozzarella and the additional 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
-Cover with foil and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until fully heated.
-Uncover and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned and melted.
-Remove from the oven and let stand for approximately 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.

The perfect glass to serve wine in with your favourite pasta dish. Spaghetti pie certainly is a new way to serve up this meal and one that I'm betting my grand kids would enjoy. They all love pasta.
