Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces dried spaghetti
- 16 ounces ground beef
- 8 ounces ground Italian sausage
- 1 yellow onion, (peeled and chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic, (minced)
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes ((1 can))
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-10 inch springform pan, or a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. If using a springform pan, wrap the outside in foil to avoid leakage.
- Place a large pot of salted water over high heat to boil. In a separate saucepot, add the ground beef, sausage, onions, and garlic. Brown the meat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Once the meat is cooked and the onions have softened, add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and simmer on low.
- Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually 6-9 minutes. Drain the cooked pasta.
- Separate out 2 cups of meat sauce and set aside. Add the cooked pasta to the remaining pot of meat sauce. Stir well to coat the pasta.
- Beat the eggs, then stir them into the spaghetti.
- Pour the spaghetti into the prepared pan. Press down to pack the pasta in the pan.
- Cut the cream cheese into thin slices and lay them over top of the pasta. Use a spatula to spread out the cream cheese.
- Pour the remaining meat sauce over the top of the pie. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the edges are crispy. Cool for at least 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
