Spaghetti Pie

This is my dual purpose post! It is Week 1 in my friend's 52 Recipe Challenge (post a new recipe once a week), and it's also my "Healthy Every Week" recipe. In week 2 of the Food Network's "Healthy Every Week" Challenge, we are focusing on whole grains. I think by now, most of us are using the whole wheat or whole grain pasta.  Here is a fun recipe to make with Spaghetti Night Leftovers!



Spaghetti Pie



Ingredients:

1 egg
2 cups cooked whole wheat or whole grain spaghetti noodles
2/3 cup spaghetti sauce
2 oz of goat cheese

Preheat oven to 350.

Coat small oven safe casserole dish (8x8 or smaller) with non-stick spray.

Scramble the egg in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper. Add cooked noodles. Mix well. Carefully pour noodle mixture into prepared casserole dish. Top with spaghetti sauce and crumbled goat cheese. Bake, uncovered until egg is set and cheese has browned- about 15-20 minutes

* Turn this pie into a pizza, by layering your favorite pizza toppings on after the sauce and before the cheese. I frequently use, Turkey Pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, peppers and spinach. This is a perfect way to get a serving of veggies into a very low-fat meal!

Serves 2- perfect portion control served with a side salad!
