Spaghetti Carbonara Pie – the perfect dish for a chilly evening! This recipe takes just minutes to put together and then can bake in the oven while you can do other things around the house. This pasta recipe is great for the whole family!

Step by Step Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In the large saucepan, boil the spaghetti in boiling salted water, following the directions on the package.

In a non-stick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat for about 12 minutes until it is browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the paper towels to drain and then set aside.

Using a blender, blend the Romano cheese, ricotta cheese, egg yolk, eggs, nutmeg, pepper, one half cup of the milk and one half teaspoon of the salt until the mixture is smooth.

Drain the pasta and then return it to the saucepan. Add in the ricotta mixture with the bacon and remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk. Stir to combine.

Transfer the pasta mixture to the baking dish. Bake the dish for 35 to 40 minutes until it is golden around the edges. The pasta should be almost set but slightly liquid in the center.

Let pie stand for 10 minutes before serving it. Cut into wedges when serving.

Notes

Letting the dish sit for the full 10 minutes is important as the remaining liquid will be absorbed. By not cooking this liquid out, you can be sure that your pasta will not be dry.
