This has been floating around the internet and when i checked some of the recipes out, I found it amazing that this is EXTREMELY similar to my Lasagna recipe, I have been making for years that everyone raves about!

Its pretty easy to throw together too!

I have also noticed that this is MUCH easier than my lasagna recipe and the flavors are basically the same!

Millionaire Spaghetti Pie 6 

The mixture of sour cream, cream cheese and cottage gives it that MILLION DOLLAR flavor! (shh thats why everyone loves my lasagna! lol )

    Fill a pre-made pie shell with a layer of spaghetti coated with egg white and Parmesan, spread with a creamy mix of egg yolk, ricotta, parsley and mozzarella, spoon in a meaty tomato sauce, then top with mozzarella and bake for a sensational party dish.

      Im not a fan of ricotta unless its in dessert- Cottage tastes fantastic in this recipe! Though you could use ricotta in its place.

    This looks like a fantastic dish. I just made it and it’s in the oven now. I love all the ingredients but I added an egg to the cream mixture and mushrooms to the red sauce. I can’t wait to dig in. Thanks for sharing!

    I do not like the sour cream or the cream cheese in this dish so I substitute ricotta or cottage cheese.I also put a couple of eggs in the cheese mixture. I may be weird because everyone else I know likes this recipe. I think it is pretty easy to play around with whatever cheese you like It will still be good.

    I am looking forward to making this recipe, however, I am puzzled by the TABLESPOON of black pepper! Could this be a mistake? I have never seen more than half a teaspoon of black pepper in any recipe before. This seems to be an overload of pepper and my tongue is very sensitive (dry mouth). Could I have some clarification on this?

    I’ve made this recipe several times now.. and is perfect the way it is… with my own personal exception.. add a red pepper and some mushrooms, and one nice little chilli pepper.

    I also find if i use 24oz of sauce with additional peppers and mushroom, it makes two casserole dishes full, so I bake one, and freeze one uncooked.

    thanks again.. awesome recipe. the house favorite.
