Adam Richman shares a fun way to serve up spaghetti: Just turn it into pie!

## Ingredients (serves 4)

- 12 ounces spaghetti, cooked, ½ cup cooking water reserved
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped finely
- 1 pound ground turkey or sirloin beef
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup tomato paste, divided

## Steps

1. Chop the yellow onion finely
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. In a large skillet, sauté the onions until soft.
4. Add ground turkey or beef and ¾ cup of the tomato paste to the skillet.
5. Add half the reserved pasta water and stir well.
6. Season with salt to taste; consistency should be like a thick Bolognese sauce, adding more cooking water as needed.
7. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked spaghetti, eggs, parmesan cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, and ¼ cup of the tomato paste.
8. Grease a 9 or 10-inch pie pan with olive oil.
9. Spread half the meat mixture over the bottom of the pan.
10. Add the spaghetti mixture and press it down to level it.
11. Top with the remaining meat mixture, then scatter the remaining mozzarella on top.
12. Bake the pie in the oven until set.
13. Remove from the oven and let sit.
14. Use a sharp knife or pizza slicer to cut into wedges like a pie.
15. Serve with a green salad.

## Good to know

### Swaps

No tomato paste on hand? Use an equal amount of thick tomato sauce reduced down to a paste-like consistency.

### Storing it

Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat in the oven or microwave until steaming hot.

### Making it ahead

The meat sauce can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge; mix the spaghetti with the eggs and cheese just before assembling and baking.
