I'd never heard of spaghetti pie till I moved to Indiana. This seemed to be a popular dish among families here...and typically made with a crust of spaghetti, a layer of cottage cheese followed by ground beef, spaghetti sauce and cheese. I clipped this recipe from the paper years ago...this version appealed to me as the cottage cheese was replaced with sour cream. It is one of those dishes I whip up when I have a cup of leftover spaghetti sauce in the freezer. I think my favorite part is the very edge of the crust...slightly eggy, with few crispy noodles.
Spaghetti Pie...source unknown

Combine spaghetti, eggs and Parmesan. Pour mixture into pie plate. Top with sour cream, then ground beef, spaghetti sauce, and finally the mozzarella.

This is actually very appealing to me and I am going to try it!
This sounds good. I never heard of it until now
Yum..how perfectly sliced yours is! I've made the Jessica Seinfeld version, with broccoli. But yours is a heartier version that my little family would enjoy.
I saw on Twitter that you asked about the no-movement on foodbuzz, I've noticed it too. Nothing since January 27. ?!
Good day to you :)
yummy, I think my mom used to make something similar :) delicious!
this looks gooooooood! Great post :)
I've heard of these, but never tried. I would love to - looks great!
oh my the memories this just brought back, although my family never made this or I. My best friends mom did in high school. I use to look forward to going there for dinner as this was one heck of a tasty dish. Bet the kids and hubby would enjoy this one too... thanks for giving me that flash back.. boy do I miss those years!
Midwest food is a category all by itself....delicious and comforting. I haven't had spaghetti pie since I lived in St. Louis. Yours looks SO good.
Believe it or not but I've had macaroni pie! Guess it stemmed from the same idea for this spaghetti pie. Since it's called a pie, why doesn't it have a proper pie crust top? Oof, suddenly that sounds overly filling.
Looks seriously good tho but I think I'll have my spaghetti as is. :D
I love this idea. When I have left over spaghetti I save it and then add veggies to it and bake it like I pie. Those cripy bit of pasta are the best.
I remember eating a similar dish a potluck a long time ago, but I never made it. It's a good way to use leftover pasta and sauce.:) Thanks for sharing!
This looks fantastic. I wasn't too thrilled as I was reading 'cottage cheese,' but you got me back when you said this recipe used sour cream. I'm sold.
Spaghetti is one of my all time faves from childhood. This would be a great change to serve even for guests. Thanks for posting this one!
Its also new to me Lizzy but your pics says it all that it was worth the try and looks superb. I will surely enjoy it too.
you have a similar thing in my Facebook album with macaroni and tomato sauce baked together in the oven. Extremely yummy and quick and simple.
I often just mix pasta with sour cream and eggs and grated cheese and put in the oven for 20 minutes. I'm a simple raccoon :)
But my favourite pasta is with potatoes, very typical for my Vojvodina, I must explain it to you once...
Wow... what a cool way to eat spaghetti. You know I love me some spaghetti. I am definitely putting this on my must try list. I think my kids will love it. :) Have a great Tuesday!!
I have a similar recipe in a couple of old recipe books. I don't know why I haven't tried it yet, as yours looks delicious. When my kids were young they didn't like anything that resembled a casserole.
I saw a similar recipe of this pie in one of the Chinese cookbook that I borrowed but that pie looks very thin :P :D This is another great way to cook spaghetti ;)
I HAVE to make this - the girls would adore it - thanks!

This is a tried and true old-time favourite, Thanks for posting.
I never heard of spaghetti pie until I moved to MN! But they have been popping up in Italian cookbooks as a way to use up leftover spaghetti. (But I won't go the cottage cheese route.) Saving this - because it is a sure-fire family-pleaser!
I have never heard of spaghetti pie. But I have to tell you that it sounds really good. Specially on a cold day like today.
Must be a Midwestern thing, but it sounds great. I love the substitution of sour cream for the cottage cheese. I wonder how a bit of cream cheese would be as well?
looks good
Um, This basically puts my favorite comfort food in to a pie dish covered in cheese. It's like a small foodie miracle. Thank you for introducing me to this!
Mmmm - I haven't made spaghetti pie for years (I make it in a springform pan). Really yummy stuff.
:)

This looks really good. I even have a little bit of spaghetti sauce in the freezer!
This is my favorite..YUMMY

How creative!I have never came across something like this.
Spaghetti pie is a new one on me, but it looks scrumptious. I'll definitely have to try it!
I've made a version of this a long time ago and it does sound a little strange at first but really, what's not to like? noodles, sauce, cheese and meat? Yum! I agree that the crispy noodles are the best part!
Liz, it sounds too good to be true! I'm sure this is the kind of dish that pleases even the pickiest people. I must remember to try it soon.
Spaghetti pie is one of our family favorites. I have to make it without the meat but it is still delicious with all that cheese.
Awesome idea, reminds me of a recipe I use to make years ago: spaghetti pizza with a pasta crust.
Lizzy, This is a terrific recipe. I am always trying to think of new ideas to use up cooked pasta and spaghetti sauce. I also love this recipe because it is quick and easy - something you can whip up when time just slips by you. Thanks for the great post.
Lizzy, its great to be able to use leftover and make something different and yummy!
I'm a former midwesterner, and have never heard of spaghetti pie, but it looks amazing--I can see why people are so fond of it.
Thank you for visiting my blog Liz. I love spaghetti. Spaghetti pie is a new for me but looking at your pictures I can hardly wait to try it out.
Wow, so simple and yummy! This goes on my to-do-list!
I'm very tempted to make this except both my brother and Theresa hate spaghetti. :\
This looks delicious! Perfect for a cold winter night!
I have a friend that used to make Spaghetti pie...it was always delicious. Yours looks yummy!
This is a perfect weeknight meal...I always seem to have a cup of sauce left every time I open a jar of Rao's sauce. This is the perfect use for that!
Not sure why, but this looks so much tastier than regular spaghetti! Perhaps it is just the cheese on top or the shape..Anyhow this looks like a great one to serve on a busy weeknight. Saved this recipe!
What a perfectly cut slice! I doubt I could get mine looking that nice... I've never heard of spaghetti pie, but it looks delicious! And those eggy, crispy edges would be my favorite part too, I think! :) Great recipe, Lizzy! Thanks for sharing :)
Lizzy this sound and look fantastic, you know my son love really love spaguettis I will try this dear:))
I've never seen spaghetti pie before! it looks delicious and almost better than lasagna, I can't wait to try it
I have heard of spaghetti pie before, but have never tried it. After seeing your post I think I will have to give it a try, I know my family would love it.
Una receta novedosa y hermosa me encanta una excelente propuesta,abrazos hugs,hugs.
Now this is new to me. I am intrigued!
I've never heard of spaghetti pie but it certainly looks wonderful.
I ve never heard it either but this dish looks delicious!
I've never heard of this. It looks delicious and a great way to serve spaghetti!
Actually, I used to have a spaghetti pie recipe, as well at least 30yrs ago...that's ages ago, and mine came from one of those little church binder cookbooks but have gotten rid of that book a long time ago. Love yours with all that yummy cheese on the top, and really made in a pie pan...looks so incredible!
That's crazy! I have never heard of that - pie + spaghetti. Oh, yes.
There's just something about spaghetti pie that says yes to me every time.
Hmm...I've never had spaghetti pie and it didn't sound like something I'd make...until I saw your post. It looks really delicious and fairly simple to make. I guess I'll need to put a box of spaghetti on my shopping list :)
My mom used to make this. I haven't had it in so many years - I will have to remedy that!
This sounds like a perfect meal. I love how it would be great for busy families, just heat it up and go, YUM! Hugs, Terra
I'm not sure I have heard of spaghetti pie, but I have heard of spaghetti tacos, lol. This looks pretty yummy though! You can never go wrong with spaghetti!
That's something very new to me - Spaghetti Pie!!Never thought I could bake Spaghetti into this delicious pie.It looks wonderful and must taste smashingly good.Drooling for a bite already:)
Spaghetti pie was, hilariously, the first dinner I ever made my husband - back in the day when he was still just a boyfriend. I didn't know what he'd think, but he loved it! I make mine with ricotta. It's a keeper. So is he. :)
I have never had spaghetti pie, Lizzy, but that's about to change. I am absolutely intrigued by your creation and I have lots of spaghetti looking for a dish to belong to.
I don't think I have heard of this dish before, but I bet my boys would love it :)
hmm... never heard of this till now! definitely interesting and I will be bookmarking this recipe!

I'm baking this for my next dinner party! Comfort food at its best!
Never made this amazing dish with spaghetti: yum! Here is pretty popular the frittata di Carnevale, a spaghetti - eggs frittata stuffed with cheese, sausage and more... very tasty... baci
Oh gosh, I remember my Pepe & Sue bought my sister and I our first cookbook and my Mom let us pick out 1 meal a week from it for us to cook together and my first pick was spaghetti pie!
