Spaghetti Pie


6 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (we used fresh)
2 cups prepared spaghetti sauce
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Additional Parmesan cheese
Additional spaghetti sauce, optional


Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain well. Stir
butter into hot spaghetti. Add 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and eggs; mix
well. Mold spaghetti mixture into a crust in a buttered 10-inch pie
plate.

Combine ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning and parsley. Carefully
spread over spaghetti crust. Fill pie with spaghetti sauce.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until
bubbly. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Bake 5 minutes
longer until cheeses melt. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting
into wedges.

Serve with extra spaghetti sauce to spoon over, if desired. Makes 6
servings
