I love spaghetti, but I am not sure about this recipe. I am afraid cooking it that way would make the noodles hard or dry. I do love ricotta cheese though. Maybe placing lasagna noodles as the 'crust' would work better for me. I think I may try it that way and see how it goes.

My mom made this many times for us growing up and now my kids love it! We usually serve it with meatballs on the side as my kids sometimes decide they don't want meat. Has anyone frozen sections of the pie after it's been cooked? We have so much leftover and hate to waste it!

Made this for dinner tonight, changed it up by frying some mild italian sausage and crumbling it up, topping the pie along with some pepperoni. It was good, but still not spicy enough for me. Next time I'll add hot italian sausage and some red pepper flakes. But the spaghetti pie is winner winner spaghetti dinner!

I you want "spicy" simply ad red pepper flakes if you want a more true Italian taste add oregano basil and garlic powder to the spaghetti sauce

Do you suppose this could be made in an electric skillet? Sounds wonderfully easy and delicious ( my two favorite ingredients) but it's really too hot to heat up the oven. BTW, I'm looking for recipes for my new electric skillet, so any suggestions would be greatly welcome truly appreciated!

What I do is use creamy - style coottage cheese, and cooked Italian bulk sausage add to the spaghetti sauce (I use jar sauce). I put some sauce on top of the pasta then the cottage cheese then rest of sauce. and follow the recipe that's list above.

To Vel, You could use fat free cottage cheese in place of mozarella and egg beaters in place of the real eggs to cut down the calorie count. I have done this in the past and just added a few more herbs for flavor and it came out fine.

What is a half pound of pasta? How do you know what a half pound is? I feelso stupid

Skweez - There is no such thing as a stupid question. If you don't know the answer to something never hesitate to ask. No one comes into this world knowing everything. Dry pasta comes in packages with the weight written on the label such as 8 oz, 16 oz. etc. 16 ounces is equal to 1 pound. 8 ounces is equal to 1/2 pound.

http://www.caloriecountercharts.com/chart1a.htm for a starter... BUT the same product can have fewer or more calories, carbs, protein, etc. depending on the maker/brand. If you want the calorie count of the recipe YOU are fixing; take all the calorie numbers off the box, container, jar (what-ever) that you are using. You can come up with the serving amount that would be closer to correct then equations from someone else... Hope this helps.

I found a different one you can just type in the recipe and it will figure it out for you. I haven't tried it so hope it works for you. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

I always make two and save one for the freezer for a quick dinner. I take it out of freezer in the morning and bake it when I get home from work.
