Rainy Day Spaghetti Pie Recipe by Jessica Seinfeld

(Rainy Day) Spaghetti Pie from Deceptively Delicious

This is a perfect recipe for that leftover pasta you've got in the fridge from last night's dinner

• Nonstick cooking spray

• 3 ozs/90g whole wheat spaghetti or angel hair pasta (or 1 cup cooked leftover pasta) I used fettucine

• 1/2 pound/250g lean ground turkey or sirloin (I used 200g chevups sausages and 50g fresh breadcrumbs)

• 1/2 cup broccoli puree

• 1 large egg white

• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan

• 2 cloves garlic chopped

• 2 cups bottled tomato sauce

• 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese

• 1/4 cup carrot puree

• 1/2 t salt

• 1/4 t pepper

• 1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella (I used regular tasty)

Step 1 - Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Coat a 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray

Step 2 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain in a colander (Skip this step if you have leftover pasta)

Step 3 - In a small bow, mix the ground turkey or sirloin with the broccoli puree, egg white, parmesan and garlic. Form the mixture into 1/2 inch balls

Step 4 - In a large bowl, stir the cooked pasta, tomato sauce, cottage cheese, carrot puree,, and salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into the pie plate and smooth the top. Scatter meatballs on top and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake, uncovered until the centre is firm and the cheese is bubble, 25 - 30 minutes.

Prep: 20 mins Total: 45 mins serves 8-10
