SPAGHETTI PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a deep-dish pie plate with olive oil.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente. (This is a good time to make the tomato sauce.) Drain then transfer the spaghetti to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl, then whisk in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Pour over the spaghetti and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared pie plate and spread to make a "pie crust."
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder and onion powder; cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the tomato sauce over the turkey and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Place the ricotta, Italian seasoning and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan in a bowl and stir to combine. Spread over the pasta, then layer on the meat sauce and finally, sprinkle with the mozzarella.
• Place the pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the pasta is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
• Let the spaghetti pie cool slightly, then cut into wedges and serve.
• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and continue to cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
