Cheesy Spaghetti Pie with Meat Sauce image

Think of this pie as a vehicle for leftovers or those stray vegetables you have in your fridge! You could add cooked mushrooms or frozen peas or leftover cooked sausage or chicken. We use spaghetti here, but any long shape of pasta will work just as well.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
8 ounces spaghetti
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 small onion, chopped
1 small zucchini, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese (about 8 ounces)
1 cup grated low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425˚ F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with olive oil.
  • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and shake the colander to remove the excess water. Put the spaghetti in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the beaten eggs and 1/2 cup Parmesan, then toss.
  • While the spaghetti cooks, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and zucchini and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, 1 more minute. Crumble in the beef, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the oregano and red pepper flakes, then clear a spot in the center of the skillet and add the tomato paste. Let it toast for 30 seconds, then stir into the beef mixture. Add the tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then bring to a simmer and cook until very thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with more salt to taste.
  • To assemble the pie, transfer the spaghetti mixture to the pie plate and press to form a crust with a flat bottom and slightly higher sides. Spread the ricotta in the spaghetti crust, leaving a border around the edges. Spoon the meat sauce on top, then sprinkle with the mozzarella and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until the bottom and sides of the pie are golden and the cheese is browned, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 minutes before slicing.

CHEESY ITALIAN BACON PIE



Cheesy Italian Bacon Pie image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 9-inch frozen uncooked pie crust, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
2 medium zucchini, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise, cut into thirds and then 1/4-inch pieces
2 large shallots, chopped (1/2 to 2/3 cup)
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup (4 ounces) coarsely grated fontina cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Unroll the crust on a lightly floured work surface. Using floured fingertips, seal any tears in the dough. Sprinkle the dough very lightly with flour. Using the bottom paper to lift, turn the dough over into 9-inch-diameter ceramic or glass pie dish. Peel off the remaining sheet of paper. Trim the dough overhang to 3/4 inch. Fold the overhang under and form a smooth top edge. Crimp the edge decoratively. Pierce the bottom and sides of the crust all over with a fork. Chill the crust at least 10 minutes.
  • Bake the crust until deep golden around the top edge and light golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta cook until brown and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain and cool, reserving the pancetta drippings in the skillet.
  • Add the zucchini, shallots and garlic to the skillet. Saute over medium heat until the zucchini is just barely tender, tossing occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool the zucchini slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and cream. Add the cheese, basil, cooled pancetta, mustard, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cooled zucchini mixture. Whisk to blend. Pour the custard into the cooled pie crust.
  • Bake the quiche until the sides are slightly puffed and brown and the center is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack 20 to 30 minutes, and then serve warm or let cool completely and serve at room temperature.

CHEESY CELERIAC, POTATO & BACON PIE



Cheesy celeriac, potato & bacon pie image

This type of puff pastry pie is called a pithivier. To make it veggie, omit the bacon and use vegetarian cheese

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 small or 1 large celeriac , peeled, halved and sliced
2 large potatoes , sliced
150ml pot double cream
few rosemary sprigs, leaves chopped
2 x 500g packs puff pastry
150g gruyère , finely sliced
4 smoked streaky bacon rashers, cut into small chunks
1 egg , beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the celeriac and potatoes in a large pan, cover with salted water and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until just tender, about 5 mins. Drain, then toss with the cream, rosemary and seasoning. Set aside.
  • Roll one of the blocks of pastry until just bigger than a large dinner plate, cut into a neat circle and place onto a flat baking sheet. Leaving a 3cm border, spread out a layer of celeriac and potatoes, top with some cheese and bacon, then repeat the layers until all the ingredients are piled up.
  • Roll out the second block of pastry large enough to completely cover the bottom sheet and filling with some overhang. Brush the bottom border with a little of the egg, then drape the pastry sheet over, pushing down to seal the edges. Trim off the excess with a sharp knife and crimp edge together with a fork. Can be made a day ahead and chilled before baking or frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost completely before baking.
  • Pierce a steam hole in the top of the pie, brush all over with remaining egg and score the pastry lightly with spoke marks, if you like. Bake for 25 mins until golden brown. Stand for 5 mins before serving.
