Angel Hair Pie

Pie for dinner?! Wow! You can be sure that this one made with angel hair pasta will be as big a favorite at your house as it is at mine.

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 40 min

Ingredients

• 8 ounces angel hair pasta (capellini)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Italian cheese blend

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. In large bowl, toss hot pasta with oil. In small bowl, combine eggs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese; stir into pasta.
    
2. Pour pasta mixture into 9-inch deep-dish pie plate that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray and spread it over bottom and up sides to form a crust. Spread ricotta cheese evenly over crust, but not quite to edge. In small bowl, combine spaghetti sauce and salsa; spread over ricotta cheese.
    
3. Bake, uncovered, 25 minutes. Top with shredded cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Cool 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.

Notes

This is the perfect dish to make when you have leftover angel hair - it saves you a step and you get to make a completely new meal from leftovers.
