Spaghetti Squash Pie

Kevinpa · 10-04-2006, 07:01 AM

1 medium spaghetti squash approx 4 cups (28 carbs)
2 T. butter
1/3 c. grated parmesan cheese (1 carb)
2 eggs, beaten (2 carbs)
1 lb ground beef
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 c. LC spaghetti sauce (15 carbs)
1 c. cottage cheese (8 carbs)
1/2 c. mozzarella cheese (1 carb)

Brown ground beef and scallions then stir in LC spaghetti sauce and set aside.
Cut squash in half, remove the seeds and microwave for about 7 minutes until the pulp comes out in thin strands.
In a mixing bowl stir butter, eggs, and parmesan cheese with squash until well coated.
Line a 10 inch pie plate with squash to make a crust.
Spoon and spread the cottage cheese on top of the squash.
Top the cottage cheese with the beef and sauce mixture.

Bake Pie in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 min or until crust seem set.Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

This is an old favorite of mine.

Hope you enjoy!

DId I add correctly - it's about 55 carbs for the whole recipe? Also is that a pie plate or is more of a pizza type plate? I have a sp. squash on my counter right now so thanks for the recipe!

That is correct Anne, but it is a 10 inch deep pie plate. 1/10 of this pie is a rather large serving which at 5.5 carb is not bad for a meal combined with say a green salad.

Did this dish re-heat well?

Yes very well, as a matter of fact I made it this morning and then refridgerated it till dinner. I cut it cold and nuked 2 servings for 2 min and it was like it just came out of the oven fresh.

My DW made a big fuss over how good the taste was. I served it with a side salad. I'm quite sure it would freeze well too,

I make this (and did, even before I started LCing), but use ricotta cheese instead. My kids love it, and it's such a great leftover. Might have to make this this weekend . . . . . .

WOW! Does that ever look delicious! Can't wait to try! Thanks Kevin!

Kevin, Thanks so much for your recipe! I used to have one for spaghetti pie (using regular pasta), but I lost it. This sounds a lot like it, but so much better since it's low-carb.
