Grease a 9-inch pie pan with a little olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1 pound Spaghetti: cook according to package instructions in a large pasta pot.
RESERVE 1/2 CUP OF pasta water / drain the rest of the pasta.
Return drained pasta to large pot.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup Yellow onions (more to taste)
1 pound Ground Turkey or Ground Sirloin
1 cup tomato paste, divided
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat. Sauté the onions until wilted. Add the ground meat and 3/4 cup of tomato paste. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Stir well. Add salt and oregano and stir to combine. It will be a thick sauce. (You can add a little more water if it is too thick, but don’t use much!) Adjust seasonings to taste.
In the large pasta pot, mix the cooked spaghetti, eggs, parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of tomato paste and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
In the bottom of the lightly greased pie pan, spread 1/2 of the meat mixture and press down. Pour the spaghetti mixture over the meat and press down to cover the pie pan. Top with remaining meat mixture. Press down. Then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake the pie in the preheated 350-degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Watch to make sure the cheese doesn’t brown. It should just get melted. Remove from oven and let sit about 10 minutes. Use a pizza slicer or serrated knife to cut into wedges.
