Spaghetti Pie

April 29, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Instant Pot Spaghetti Pie

If you’ve never had this, I would definitely recommend trying. Even my son (who really dislikes red sauce) actually loved it! I’d like to give credit to this recipe but I looked at about 100 of them and didn’t really like any of them. This one is combined from about 10 different recipes.

There are a lot of ingredients, but this recipe makes a full two pies (one to eat and one to freeze. They freeze beautifully).

Boil your pasta to al dente. I used Angel Hair for this because the smaller noodles compact better when you’re making the crust.

Add the sauce ingredients to the Instant Pot. I use an Instant Pot Max and I love it! I just throw the veggies in whole. Instead of salt I will use some dried Parmesan cheese (the stuff in the green can!) and Maggi Beef Base. That (along with the onion powder) bangs up the umami flavor. Cook on Max pressure for 20 minutes or high pressure for 24, and quick release.

Mix cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese (the real stuff) and spices for the cheese layer.

Brown your ground beef and drain.

Your veggies should look like this (sad and wilted. but still flavorful!)

Puree with an immersion blender. I use the Breville Immersion Blender, it’s super powerful.

Mix your cooked spaghetti, eggs, some more dried Green Can Parmesan (I’m using this because it’s more of a binder, and does add flavor) and a cup of the cooked sauce, and mix.

Place half the spaghetti mixture in the bottom of an 8 inch round Springform pan.

Add half the cheese mix.

Add the ground beef to the remaining sauce and mix, and add half to the pan.

Layer 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (the real stuff) and 7 slices fresh Mozzarella

And bake covered at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes or until heated all the way through (time is going to depend on the temperature of your incoming ingredients. Thermometer should read 165).

And broil under low broil for a minute or two until the cheese is browned and bubbly.

De-pan (un-pan?) and slice. You will not be disappointed. I was very happy with how well this held together.
