My Mother made a main dish pie years ago and I have not been able to find it. The “crust” is made from cooked spaghetti, that is all I remember except that it was my favorite at the time. Can anyone help?
I ahve found 2 recipe’s. Hope one of these is the one your looking for!

This is the absolute best. My kids loved it when they were young, and still beg for it…ages 24 and 29:
Cook your spaghetti and drain well, but do not rinse (helps to stick the “crust” together). Return to pan and add butter, a few beaten eggs and parmesan cheese. Stir well till butter melts and put in a well oiled pan. I use an 8x10 cake pan. Push spaghetti on bottom and up the sides.
Fill with sauce and fixin’s. Put shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Approximate ratios:
l lb. spaghetti
1/4 C. butter
2 eggs
1 C. Parmesan
Bake at 425 for 45-60 minutes. HAVE A HAPPY!!!
