This spaghetti pie is a cinch to put together. Cooked spaghetti is mixed with onion, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses and then slid in the oven until it's a gorgeous golden brown. And it's like catnip for kids.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the zucchini, tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and toss to coat evenly. Bake until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, stirring once, about 20 minutes.
  • While the vegetables roast, cook the pasta until al dente, according to the package directions, probably 9 to 11 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  • In a largish bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 cup each Parmesan and mozzarella, tossing to coat. Add the vegetables and gently toss.
  • Dump into a lightly oiled 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup each Parmesan and mozzarella. Bake until set and cheese has browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.
