Cheesy Pasta Pie

Cheesy Pasta Pie

Recipe inspiration courtesy of Oprah.com

Save RecipeSave Recipe

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. Country Pasta cooked, drained, and cooled
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup grated Pecorino (this could be substituted for another hard Italian cheese)
  • 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices American cheese (we suggest for added flavor using a sharp cheddar)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the cooled pasta with eggs and grated cheeses in large bowl.
  2. Season pasta mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add olive oil to a large non-stick saute pan, or a well-greased cast iron skillet and heat to medium heat.
  4. Once hot, add ½ the spaghetti mixture to the pan and flatten it out.
  5. Next lay 4 slices of American cheese, and add the remaining pasta mixture to the top.
  6. Cook for an additional 5 minutes and flip. (Now this is the slightly tricky part. We took a team approach, and used additional plate for the flipping. However, if you are feeling your inner chef certainly go for it!)
  7. Cook the flipped side for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Slice into wedges and serve.

Notes

This is a great all around family friendly dish, but we think it has so much more potential! Customize by mixing in cooked bacon bits, chopped & sauted onion, or minced garlic for a more grown up flair. Our taste testers prefer a little spiciness and topped theirs with hot sauce and green chives. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of spaghetti or linguine (Use Country Pasta for the hearty version!)
  • 6 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 4 egg yolks

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
  • 2-3 shallots, diced
  • 1 cup asparagus, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms of your choice, chopped (we used white mushrooms)
  • Extra Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

  1. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Transfer to a paper towel and save the drippings, you'll need them later. (We find that it's easier to chop bacon after it's cooked, but you can chop it before as well, your choice.)
  3. While the bacon is frying, chop all of your veggies and prep your eggs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  4. Boil water for pasta.
  5. While your pasta is cooking, saute the mushrooms, asparagus, and shallots in a bit of bacon grease, about 5 minutes or until all veggies are to the bite you prefer.
  6. Set aside.
  7. Drain pasta and set aside.
  8. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
  9. Continue whisking and add 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.
  10. Working quickly while your pasta is hot, add the drained pasta and Parmesan to the yolk mixture.
  11. Toss with tongs to mix thoroughly.
  12. Add your sauted veggies, bacon, and parsley, continuing to toss until mixed well.
  13. Garnish with extra Parmesan and a sprig of parsley if desired.
  14. Serve immediately.

Notes

The heat of the pasta cooks the eggs, but not thoroughly. It may be advisable for young children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system to avoid eating this dish. You may also use 1/2 cup of egg substitute or pasteurized egg if you prefer.
