Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

3. In a small bowl, combine eggs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir into spaghetti then pour into a lightly greased 10-inch pie plate, and form into a "crust." Spread ricotta evenly over crust, but not quite to edge, and top with spaghetti sauce.

4. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes then top with shredded mozzarella and bake 5 more minutes, or until cheese melts.

5. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Cool 10 minutes before slicing into wedges.
