Childhood favorites are no less delicious as an adult.
I think they get better! Probably because you understand how decadent they actually are.
My parents got on the healthy train pretty early. We very rarely ate fast food, my mom cooked dinner every night, and - while there were plenty of homemade cookies – we also received apple slices and “ants on a log” as snacks.
Side note: Do you remember ants on a log? It was celery with PB in the crevice and raisins dotted along the middle.
Anyway, one of my favorite mommy-meals was something called spaghetti pie. It was literally made in a pie dish. The “crust” was a mixture of spaghetti, butter, parmesan, and eggs. There was a generous layer of ricotta, and then it was topped with ground beef and spaghetti sauce (usually Prego). It was carb-filled, fatty, and delicious.
Clearly, this delicacy isn’t encouraged on a competition diet. With all this cold weather I was craving this comfort food classic, so I decided to remake it… in Strange But Good fashion, of course.
This actually wasn’t too hard to do. I used spaghetti squash rather than pasta, and replaced the butter, cheese, and whole egg with egg whites. The filling is still ricotta, but I chose the fat-free version, adding oregano for extra flavor.
Ground beef is easily replaced with ground turkey. I sautéed it with red onion, garlic, and a spritz of olive oil for flavor.
My marinara sauce was jarred (sorry, it’s been a crazy week!), but I chose a low-sodium, organic option rather than Prego. I also amped up the flavor by adding fresh rosemary, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Semi-homemade?
A couple few notes:
- I’d love to green it up next time with some spinach or kale
- It would be fantastic with some shredded carrot and/or red pepper
- How about a Mexican version?!
- As I was
bragging abouttexting pics of my pie to a gluten-free friend, I realized it IS gluten-free! - I think you could SO easily make is vegan! Replace the eggs with a couple of flax eggs, the ricotta with whipped tofu (like this goat cheeze recipe?), and the meat with vegan ground beef or TVP. Someone try (Kristina?) it and let me know!
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Spaghetti (Squash) Pie
- 1 small spaghetti squash, pre-cooked (easy microwave instructions here)
- 1/2 C egg whites
- 1/2 C fat-free ricotta
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 8 oz. ground turkey
- 1/4 C red onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 C marinara sauce
- Optional marinara mix-ins include: red pepper flakes, rosemary, garlic, etc.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and prepare a pie dish.
Stir together the spaghetti squash and egg whites. Pour evenly into the pie dish as the crust (note: this will look too runny, but it isn’t – the egg will solidify in the oven).
Mix together the ricotta cheese, oregano, and garlic powder. Arrange evenly over the spaghetti mixture, leaving ~1/4 in space around the edge to preserve the “pie” look.
In a large pan, brown ground turkey with onion and garlic (can also use olive oil). Add marinara sauce and any additional flavors, allowing to cook over medium until warmed (~6-7 mins).
Evenly pour the turkey and sauce mixture on top of the ricotta layer in your pie dish.
Bake uncovered for ~45 mins, or until most of the “jiggle” is gone.

No way, is this real life. I didn’t know this was possible, but I’m truly obsessed with spaghetti squash. It’s so versatile, I just love it so.
This looks wonderful. I sure darn hope chia eggs would work for egg whites…maybe it’s time to experiment:)

Wow, this spaghetti squash pie looks and sounds AMAZING! Spaghetti squash is one of my favorite things to eat, I can’t wait to make this for my family next week.
I was ecstatic to hear this is glutenfree, as I can’t eat gluten. Going to try your whipped tofu suggestion to replace the cheese since I am allergic to dairy as well.
Thanks for sharing! I love following your blog, You’ve been such an inspiration to me, keep up the great work.

wow! what an interesting idea. I totally want to try this. I wonder if I can still find spaghetti squash somewhere. It looks just like a thick pie crust too!
I can’t think of anything really strange that I ate a kid though I loved vegetables even then and I remember all the other kids at my table recoiling in horror at my eggplant parmigian and steamed broccoli.

It’s not hard to find in season, but once the season passes the vegetables and fruits of that period disappear.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii frickin’ LOVE you!! Like you have NO IDEA how fast my jaw dropped when I opened up your page just now! I have a MAMMOTH of a spaghetti squash on my counter right now just waiting to be made into some SPAGHETTI PIE…and some pancakes too…but that’s another #strangebutgood for another day!
Have you ever tried Chef Ricardo’s pasta sauces from Whole Foods? I bought it once after sampling some at the store and it’s incredible…and the sodium content is pretty decent for a jarred sauce too! Man, I was JUST at WF’s today…should have picked some up! Ha, I just found it in an old post of mine along with some OTHER #strangebutgood pancakes! Lol http://www.kissmybroccoliblog.com/2011/07/10/lasagna-pancakes/
Hmm, I wasn’t really too strange as a child (I know, funny, right?). I was just a really picky eater…but I DID put ketchup on pretty much anything…even steak! Lol
Laura

LOL! I friggin’ love you too!
Spaghetti Pie ‘Cakes? I remember those lasagna pacakes! Must try those… maybe tonight…
I haven’t had Ricardo’s… will have to see if my EWF carries it. The sauce I used was from the farmer’s market (suprise, surprise), but it’s the Silver Plate brand which I think is at several major stores too. It’was pretty good, but I always doctor it up.
I was picky too. I didn’t even like ketchup.

Yay for spaghetti squash pie! I just posted last week about making one that included goat cheese, spinach and sundried tomatoes. It was awesome! Your version looks just as good (love the added protein to make it a complete one-dish meal), and agree that a Mexican version needs to be tried next!

Wait. Does someone NOT remember ants on a log? If so, we need to fly to them and force feed them peanut butter laden celery. STAT.
Um. Please do not be apologizing for using jarred pasta sauce.
OK. SO WEIRD. When we were doing Meatless Mondays A-Z, I totally thought about using Udon to make an Asian Udon PIe. I never did, mainly because I became obsessed with recreating Jungle Curry, but that might be a fun little experiment….get out of my brain!!! [Although, to be honest, I don't know where my idea came from for that, since I don't think I ever had spaghetti pie in my life.]

I must say of your strange but good posts this one isn’t too far out there. It looks delicious and filling (full of comfort).
As for ants on a log? Yes I remember them and I hated them as a kid (i wasn’t much for raisins). Now a days I love celery and prefer to just eat it raw (no toppings necessary).
Have a great weekend Laura!

Hahaaa, ants on a log–My mom tried making me that, until she realized I just picked off the raisins, licked out the PB, and left behind piles of celery and raisins. It was easier to just hand me the PB jar and a spoon…Things haven’t changed much
This sounds soooo good and homey–That crust is brilliant, yup, I can think of a bunch of ways to switch it up (Mexican style would be a win, if you ask me–maybe a fajita pie??).

I’ve been waiting for this recipe!! I’d never heard of spaghetti pie until you talked about it and have been curious ever since. It looks amazing and is living up to the hype I’ve created for it in my brain. This is going on my grocery list for next week. Did you try freezing the leftovers? Do you think it would do OK frozen? I think I could eat this every meal for a week but I’m just wondering if it would freeze ok.
And YES I remember ants on a log! Recently I added some raisins to my spoonful of peanut butter and it was sooo good. And yes, I eat spoonfuls of peanut butter when I’m feeling munchy.

I’m so sorry it was soupy… I think that would either be becasue you needed more squash or because it wasn’t baked long enough. You want to leave it in the oven until it’s not jiggly. But I’m really glad youliked the taste!!!

It was awesome! I even ran some over to my mom so she could try it fresh out of the oven. She loved it, too!
