Spaghetti Pie

So was finally able to aquire some gluten-free pasta so we made this recipe which my whole family enjoyed and the leftovers made a quick breakfast for me this morning, LOL I've always been a huge pasta, bread person so finding recipes and ingredients to satisfy those cravings is wonderful! I doubled the below recipe to put this in a casserole dish, not a pie dish.

4 oz rice or corn spaghetti

1/2 lb ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

3/4 cup spaghetti sauce

2 eggs

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tbsp butter or margarine, melted

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

directions:

Preheat overn to 350

1. cook spaghetti according to pkg directions, drain, return to pan

2. meanwhile, in frying pan, saute the ground beef, onions and green pepper until the meat is brown and onions are translucent. Drain fats. Add spaghetti sauce and stir to combine, set aside

3. in bowl, beat one egg. Add parmesan cheese and melted butter, mix well to combine. Add to hot pasta and toss until combined.

4. In a well greased 9 in pie pan, spread the spaghetti mixture with a spoon across bottom of pan and up the sides to form a crust.

5. beat remaining egg in a small bowl. Add cottage cheese and egg, mix to combine then spread over the bottom of the crust.

6. spoon meat mixture over cottage cheese mixture

7. bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven.

8. sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top of pie. Return pie to oven for 5-8 minutes or until cheese melts and the crust sets. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.

I found this recipe in the book Incredible Edible Gluten free Food for Kids, by Sheri Sanderson. Its gonna be a keeper around this house :)

Your family may like this, too. I add pancetta or bacon and red pepper. One of my faves. I usually use corn/quinoa pasta but I MAY have used rice pasta....so it would get starchy. Yep, pretty sure I did....

This sounds pretty good--thank you for the recipe.

One question--hub is not fan of cottage cheese, but he's a good sport and will eat it if I make it -- but, I see no reason not to sub ricotta --what do you guys think?? Will it make it too moist?

I have on occasion subbed the other way around and it didn't seem to make much difference.

I didn't think it would matter, but it is good to hear you have done it as well. :) I am guessing the fat content is lower with the cottage cheese, perhaps (which is what I may need after all the goodies I have eaten this week) :rolleyes::lol:

You can even make this with Mexican type flavors - cheddar, taco seasoned meat, salsa & maybe a little cottage cheese/ ricotta for gooeiness ( or Velveeta instead of cheddar). If you don't have spaghetti, you can squish down any shape noodles into a crust. I would use corn noodles with the Mexican style.

Thanks, K. I love Mex. :)

That sounds really good Spryng! Sometimes, I just add cottage cheese/grated parmesan to my pasta and sauce before eating it. Sounds very similar :)

I love all the ideas to mix this meal up! Can be very versatile for sure! Do you think it's something that will freeze well? I would love to make a couple batches up and freeze them for when I have company or something out of the blue, would be a nice meal to reheat :)

A very similar recipe appeared in Better Homes & Gardens magazine way back in the 70's and I remember making it when my kids were little. And we all liked it. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

I see no reason it would not freeze well but that was way before microwaves so it wouldn't have been as easy to reheat the leftovers as it is today.

Tried your recipe today--I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese because I had some in the house--and it was VERY TASTY INDEED! I used corn pasta and I could see how it would be easily converted to Mex--as Karen suggests.

Hubby liked it and had seconds. That's always a good sign. :lol:

Thanks for posting this recipe! It's almost like lasagna--only quicker. :)

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
