How to cook deliciously - Spaghetti & Meatball Pie

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350° and grease a pie plate with cooking spray.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, combine spaghetti, 1/4 cup marinara, Parmesan and 1 egg. Toss until evenly combined. Press spaghetti mixture into the pie crust as compactly as possible. Bake until spaghetti is slightly crispy around the edges, about 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1 egg and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
