Spaghetti pie

Spaghetti pie - Italian casserole

Spaghetti pie is an original dish where boiled spaghetti is mixed with eggs, cheese and meat filling, then baked until golden brown. You can use various fillings: minced meat, ham, chicken or mushrooms. The dish turns out dense and hearty, similar to a casserole. Served hot, cut into portions. Great way to use leftover pasta. Children like the unusual way of serving familiar spaghetti.

Milk 250 ml
Eggs 2 pc.
Hard cheese 150 g
Tomatoes 3 pc.
Bacon 50 g
spaghetti 200 g
herbes de Provence to taste
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Шаг 1

Mix the eggs well with milk, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and optionally your favorite spices. I added a mix of Provencal herbs. Grate most of the cheese or chop finely and add to the egg mixture.

Шаг 2

Boil the spaghetti in plenty of salted water until ready. Leave in a colander to drain. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes: half into cubes, half into slices.

Шаг 3

Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes: half into cubes, half into slices.

Шаг 4

Grease the baking dish with vegetable oil. Add the diced tomatoes to the spaghetti and mix. I initially poured the egg mixture over the spaghetti in the form, so the cheese remained on top and I had to stir it all again. It's better to mix the spaghetti with the egg, milk, and cheese mixture first, then pour into the form.

Шаг 5

Place bacon slices and tomatoes on top of the future pie. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes until the egg mixture sets and the bacon is golden brown.

Шаг 6

Slice or grate the remaining cheese, chop the green onion, and sprinkle over the pie. Return it to the oven for another 10 minutes. I used Suluguni cheese: I read that it melts well and can be used as a substitute for mozzarella in pizza. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
