Tips
You may want to cut this recipe in half. I made a BIG turkey roaster pan 1/2 full with these ingredients.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray big turkey roaster pan with cooking spray. (Cut the recipe in half for a regular 9x12 pan)
Brown ground beef, add 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp parsley, 1 tsp paprika, a pinch of salt and a few cranks of freshly grinded pepper. Drain fat and add chopped onion, green pepper and garlic.
Meanwhile bring a pot of water to boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente, about 9 minutes.
Once onion is soft and fragrant, add 1.5 jars of the sauce. Reserve 1/2 jar for lining the pan. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer about 5-10 min.
Drain cooked pasta. Return to pan. Add cream cheese and stir so it melts with the hot pasta. Add milk, stir to blend. Add 1 tsp basil, 0.5 cup grated parmesan, a pinch of salt and a few more cranks of freshly ground pepper. Let it sit to cool for a few minutes, then add the 2 eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
Pour reserved 1/2 jar of pasta sauce into pan and rotate pan to coat entire bottom.
Pour noodles into pan and distribute evenly, top with meat/sauce mixture. Sprinkle remaining 0.5 cup of Parmesan, then chopped pepperoni, then 5 oz shredded mozzerela
Bake at 350 for approx 45 minutes uncovered.
Serving Size: 1/16 of a half full big turkey roaster pan.
