SPAGHETTI PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-3-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 3 to 4 minutes less than the package recommends, so that it is very al dente. Drain and reserve.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef, 5 to 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the beef to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat and saute the onions until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the marinara, ricotta, parsley, eggs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the cooked spaghetti, beef and onions and toss to evenly coat. Transfer to the prepared pan, top with the mozzarella and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
• Bake until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.

FRESH AND EASY VEGGIE SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a wide skillet with sides over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until translucent; 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add zucchini, yellow squash, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and a generous pinch of salt then cook, stirring occasionally until softened but still with some crunch; 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook another minute. (When making this sauce, we usually end up using between 1 and 1 1/2 teaspoons of fine sea salt.)
• Add the roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and mushroom powder. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half; about 10 minutes. As the sauce cooks, use a spoon to break up the whole tomatoes into smaller pieces for a chunky sauce.
• While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil then cook pasta according to package directions.
• Take the sauce off of the heat, and then stir in the spinach and basil. Taste then adjust with additional salt if needed. Toss in the cooked pasta, and then leave for a minute so that the pasta absorbs some of the sauce and the spinach wilts. Toss again, and then serve with parmesan or nutritional yeast sprinkled on top.

VEGAN SPAGHETTI SQUASH PIE

Steps:

• Roast the squash. Preheat oven to 400F. Cut off stem end of spaghetti squash, halve lengthwise, and use a spoon to scrape seeds out. Spray open squash halves with cooking spray and season generously with salt and pepper. Bake squash cut side down on a parchment lined baking sheet for about 45 minutes, until just soft when pressed gently with a finger.
• Remove squash from oven and immediately turn cut side up on a cutting board. Drain excess liquid from baking sheet and line with two layers of paper towels (or a clean kitchen towel). Hold squash with tongs and use a fork to scrape out "noodles". Spread in an even layer on the baking sheet, then cool to room temp.
• If using "noodles" immediately, press another double layer of paper towels on top to absorb more moisture. If making ahead, transfer to a paper towel lined container, so as much liquid as possible gets removed!
• Make the cashew "ricotta". In a high powered blender (see notes) combine cashews, 1 cup water, lemon juice, vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt (kosher or sea), mustard, and nutritional yeast until very smooth and creamy. This may take several minutes. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
• To assemble the pies, spray two pie pans with oil. In a mixing bowl, combine squash noodles and cashew ricotta, plus a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper, until well mixed (a fork works well). Distribute squash mixture between the two pie pans and smooth the surface. Top each pie with two to two and a half cups of lentil marinara sauce, then sprinkle generously with mozzarella (about 3/4 cup per pie).
• Cover with foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the mozzarella. Bake pies on middle oven rack for about 25 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted. Remove foil while the pies cool for at least 10 minutes, then serve with fresh basil. Or, continue cooling before refrigerating for up to five days.

SPAGHETTI AND THREE-CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and base-line a deep 20cm springform cake tin with baking paper. Wrap the bottom of the tin tightly with a couple of sheets of foil to guard against leaks.
• Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water but drain just before it's tender as it will continue to cook in the oven. Rinse under cold water until cool then drain again.
• Cook the spring onions in a knob of butter until really soft then add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Cool.
• Whisk together the eggs, cream and milk in a large bowl. Add 1 /2 the parmesan and all of the other cheeses, and mix well with lots of seasoning (especially pepper). Stir in the spaghetti and chives and the spring onion mixture.
• Tip into the tin and smooth down, then sprinkle over the rest of the parmesan. Put on a baking tray and bake for 30-35 minutes or until set and golden. Cool in the tin for 20 minutes loosely covered with foil before turning out. Cut into wedges and serve with a green salad.
