    Spaghetti Pie Retake 043

    Most pies out there are sweet pies, but this Spaghetti pie will change your mind about that. A pie can be on the savory side, and taste pretty damn good actually. Spaghetti pie, is like a layered lasagna dish, but instead, it's all in a pie layered with noodles, cheese, and meat. And guess what? Unlike lasagna, you just make the layers once! It's super easy to put together once you have all the three components of the layers all prepped. The only downside of this meal is all the dishes after, but just give that duty to your SO since you spent so much time working on their dinner. 🙂

    Awhile back, I posted a recipe for Spaghetti Pie, and the photos were pretty bad. They were taken with my Olympus point and shoot camera. If you want to see the very bad photos of Spaghetti Pie click here to see the recipe.

    I plan on going back through some recipes I took in 2013 and re-posting the recipes again with better images. There's nothing wrong with posting the same recipe over again. I like making a recipe more than once if I really like it. This recipe, I really REALLY liked it.

    Can you make this low carb?

    Yes, you can! Use spaghetti squash instead of noodles. Just cook a spaghetti squash and once that's cooled add the egg, cottage cheese, and parmesan to squash and mix it up. Place that on the bottom of the pie plate. Smart Points would be 5 using spaghetti squash. It will help lower the points to 5.

      I'm glad you liked it. I have 1300 recipes on this site and sometimes I don't get the chance to look at some of them. I did, however, update the recipe to include what to do with the 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese and updated the WW points. 5 points was for using spaghetti squash as I mentioned above in the post.

      I made this recipe last night. It was delicious! However, the recipe doesn't say what to do with the leftover 2 Tbsp of parmesan cheese (after mixing 4 Tbsp into the pasta), or how to divide the mozzarella cheese. I just ended up using the entire 1 cup of mozzarella on the top, and used the remaining 2 Tbsp of parmesan for those who wanted to sprinkle some on top at the table. Also, I even lightened it up more by using nonfat cottage cheese, reduced fat parmesan cheese, no sugar added spaghetti sauce, and I used 93% fat free ground beef instead of the turkey sausage (same point value). Still though, it came to 10 myWW Green points per each of the 6 servings. Not sure how you got 5 myWW Green points.
