Birds Nest Pie
This was good but I would change a few things if I did it again. First, don't let pasta open to the oven, keeping all the noodles covered with the sauce. Also, don't overdue the amount of pasta, err on the side of sparce.
8 Ounce spaghetti (uncooked)
2 eggs (beaten)
1⁄3 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1⁄2 Cup onion (finely minced)
2 Tablespoon margarine
1 Cup sour cream
1 Pound Italian sausage (chicken is also good)
4 Ounce Mozzarella Cheese
1 1⁄2 Cup spaghetti sauce
Break spaghetti in half and cook till al dente. Drain. While spaghetti is hot, mix with Parmesan cheese and Large eggs. Press spaghetti into bottom and up sides of a well greased 10 inch pie plate. Saute/fry onion in margarine. Mix with lowfat sour cream and spread over crust. Brown sausage and drain fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Simmer 10 min. Spoon over lowfat sour cream and "pie crust". Cover with foil and freeze. To serve: Thaw and bake at 350 degrees for 25 min. Put mozzarella cheese on top, continue baking until cheese melts. NOTES :***All "Prepare Ahead Meals" can be eaten immediately without prior freezing. I usually make a double batch and freeze one for future meals or possibly for covered dish events.
