Spaghetti Pie

What to do with leftover Spaghetti & Gravy? Make Spaghetti Pie, of course.

Now in my house, there is someone who usually does not like leftovers, but loves leftover Spaghetti & Gravy. So making Spaghetti Pie involves a certain amount of negotiation or subterfuge to prevent the leftover Spaghetti & Gravy from being eaten before Spaghetti Pie can be made. But, as it turns out, MDS liked Spaghetti Pie, so maybe we will have it more often (I doubt it).

Mom made Spaghetti Pie only on the rare occurrence of too much leftover Saturday night spaghetti. Spaghetti Pie is a nice and tasty way to heat up leftovers. Another way that Mom heated up leftover spaghetti involved a pan on the stovetop with added Parmesan cheese. But Spaghetti Pie was just a little more special, but still very easy to make. While normally we did not eat much cottage cheese in our house, the addition of cottage cheese to Spaghetti Pie gives it a nice tang. So go ahead and make extra spaghetti & gravy, because you can always make a pie with the leftovers.

Spaghetti Pie

• Leftover Spaghetti & Gravy
• 8 oz. cottage cheese

Mix leftover spaghetti and gravy with the cottage cheese and the beaten egg.  Place in greased dish (pie dish if you have a smaller amount, or 9X13 pan if you have more). Cover with cheese. Bake covered for about 25 to 30 minutes at 350.
