Spaghetti Pie is a nostalgic, feel-good dish that takes classic spaghetti and gives it a cozy baked twist. With a base of creamy sour cream-coated noodles, a layer of seasoned beef, and a blanket of gooey mozzarella, this dish brings all the comfort. We’ve added an extra saucy upgrade—reserve some of that rich, savory sauce to pour over each square as you serve it. And yes, it’s still called pie even though it’s baked in a square pan… we like to keep things deliciously quirky!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Make the spaghetti base:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with sour cream, beaten egg, and Parmesan. Mix until fully coated. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Form the crust:
Spread the spaghetti mixture evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
Cook the beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add sauce:
Stir in about 2½ to 3 cups of spaghetti sauce into the beef mixture and simmer for 3–5 minutes. Reserve the remaining 1 to 1½ cups of sauce to warm and serve on top later.
Assemble:
Spoon the beef and sauce mixture evenly over the spaghetti base. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
Bake:
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Serve:
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Warm the reserved sauce and drizzle over each serving for that extra saucy goodness!
