Kids, and even adults, still love a cheesy spaghetti since it’s an easy crowd-pleaser for even the pickiest eaters.
Sure it’s simple, but there’s just something so comforting about it.
So check out this take on this cheesy comfort that transforms into one easy pie bake your whole family is going to love.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 lb spaghetti
- 6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 oz shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cup of whole milk
- 3/4 cups shredded parmigiano reggiano
- 3 large eggs
- salt and pepper
Let’s begin.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain the water out.
Take the cooked pasta and toss it in a large bowl that’s big enough to mix around in.
Add the shredded mozzarella and white cheddar cheeses first then pour in the milk slowly.
You could spread the cheeses around the pasta and the bowl to make it easier to mix later.
Add in the parmigiano reggiano.
Easy right?
Whisk 3 large eggs in a bowl then add those in as well.
Then add in 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 1/2 teaspoons of black pepper.
Mix the pasta and the ingredients around the bowl until they’re all evenly spread out.
Preheat your oven to 425° and while you’re doing that, generously butter a 10-inch Bundt pan.
Now take the mixed pasta and on a round pan or similar, bake it until the cheese is melted and bubbling for 35 to 40 minutes.
Set the pie on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a platter.
If you’d like, make a nice sauce of your choosing, like a tomato meat-based type of sauce or anything you think will go with the dish.
Slice the pie into your desired serving portions, garnish and sauce it up if you choose, and serve.
Spaghetti is a child’s best friend, and cheese is probably a close second, so putting these two together is a no-brainer anyway.
And it will please hungry adults too.
Baking it in pie form means ending up with a crisp outer layer and really amazing stringy, melty cheesiness on the inside of it.
If you’re a kitchen pro, you really can add in a few ingredients of your own.
Serving more adults, turn up the heat and make it spicy, or add in a nice salmon or any meat dish.
If you’re feeding kids, tomato sauce, bread, and perhaps extra cheese would make those kids sit down for longer.
And if you really want to turn things up a notch, maybe try a different type of pasta.
Or cook a known pasta dish and try turning it into a pie like this one.
The possibilities are endless but this basic recipe is sure to please a few hungry tummies.
And while it may be heavy, that’s a great excuse to pop open your favorite bottle and relax for awhile while the kids sleep.
Besides, no one ever goes wrong preparing pasta and pie.
It’s quick and easy so follow the recipe below!
