Meet your new favorite pasta dish. It's spaghetti, in the shape of a pie, with crispy edges and a chewy interior. This dish is as fun as it is tasty—your friends could eat it with their hands if they wanted to.

Ingredients

8 servings

1 pound good-quality spaghetti
1 tablespoon butter
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup homemade red sauce or prepared tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta in generously salted water according to the package directions until just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan (see Note) and set aside.

    Step 3

    In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, red sauce, pepper, salt, and all but 1 tablespoon each of the mozzarella and Parmesan. Add the pasta and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to the prepared springform pan and sprinkle with the reserved cheeses.

    Step 4

    Bake until the top is nicely browned and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before unmolding.

  • A total bust!!! I followed this recipe to the letter, and even added a little leftover sauce, and it was dry and bland. The capers were a mistake, because they - along with the recommended cast iron skillet - created a metallic tang that was off-putting.

  • I found this to be pretty tasteless, despite using a strongly flavoured tomato sauce. The texture was also not particularly pleasant: mushy on the inside rather than chewy, and toothy on the outside rather than crispy.
