String Spaghetti Pie

"I bought the cookbook that this recipe was in because of this recipe. It is a cross between spaghetti and lasagna and you don't have the mountain of left overs, like with lasagna. It's fast and easy and wonderful with garlic bread and a salad."

  1. This was a great, tasty, easy recipe that resembles lasagna without all the fuss. The spaghetti layered on the bottom (mixed with cheese/eggs/butter) makes for a interesting layer (my husbands words) topped with cottage cheese and the meat mixture. I didn't think that 1 ounce of shredded mozzarella was enough to top of this casserole so I used around 1 1/2 cups. I used Ragu Sundried Tomato & Basil as my sauce, and since the jar was 1 lb 10 ounces I used the entire jar (recipe calls for 15 1/2 ounces). I'm guessing that you could probably make the recipe the night before and throw it in the oven (starting with a cold oven of course) when you got home from work the next evening. This one is a keeper in my house!
     
  2. This was a very good family pleaser. 2 adults and 4 kids ate nearly the whole pan, unheard of around here. I really have to add my 2 cents here about the amount of cheese. I used probably 1 1/2 c. cottage cheese and showed great restraint to only use about 12 oz. of mozzarella. If I had used 1 oz. there would have been an uprising. This was a nice way to shake up the same old ingredients and make something a little different.
     
  3. This is my husband's all time favorite dish that I make! Thank you for sharing!
     
  4. I was checking to see if this was already posted. My family has enjoyed this for many years. I usually put in 1 - 1/2c mozzarella cheese. Delicious!
     
  5. I thought this was a good basic dish. Nothing too complicated. I did wish for a little more flavor, maybe a blend of Itaian herbs. I think a little more spaghetti would have have been good, maybe 20 ozs. I really liked the cottage cheese and eggs in this dish.

Hello, I'm a 31 year old mother of one son. I will be getting married in October 2003. I was bound to cook. My mother was taught to cook by her beloved aunt and she was also taught the importance of your family in the kitchen. In our family, that is where everyone talks. I have always liked to cook, but now, I love to cook. Martha Stewart, move over. I recommend getting a George Forman grill and rotissire. They are wonderful appliances. My next big appliance will be the Kitchen Aid mixture with allllllll the attachments. I can't wait to get that.
