This Spicy Spaghetti Pie recipe puts a zesty, exciting twist on traditional spaghetti pie and there are only six ingredients! 

That’s a big dang deal.

After all, it’s usually a tantalizing photo that inspires me to look closer at a recipe, but if there’s a mile long list of ingredients, nine times out of ten I’m outta there. Not only do I not have the patience, I don’t have the budget right now to be cooking with a zillion ingredients for a single meal.

Long story short, I adapted this recipe from the Six Ingredient Cookbook and I love the cookbook. Pretty sure you will too.

  • fresh basil
  • shredded Mozzarella cheese

How to make zesty spaghetti pie

Chop up some pepperoni and then cook until crisp… Mmm that blends beautifully with the arrabbiata sauce.

Put the crispy pepperoni, arrabbiata, Mexican cheese, fresh basil and pasta together in a big ol’ pot and stir it up.

Pour the pasta mixture into a greased pie plate.

Use a spatula to flatten the surface so that when it’s sliced later,  it will hold together nicely. Now it’s time to bake the spicy spaghetti pie!

The recipe said it made four servings. Feeling sassy, I sliced mine into eight. Oops, one slice wasn’t enough; I went back for a second…so yeah, the recipe serves four.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces thin spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3.5 ounces sliced pepperoni
  • 1 25 oz jar arrabbiata sauce divided
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil divided
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often, until nearly al dente. Drain pasta and return it to pot.
  • Finely chop pepperoni and cook in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups arrabbiata sauce and bring to simmer.
  • Chop 1/2 cup basil.
  • Add pepperoni sauce, Mexican cheese blend, and most but not all of the basil to pasta and toss to combine. Transfer pasta to greased 9-inch pie plate and press with spatula to flatten surface.
  • Bake until golden and bubbling around edges about 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Reheat remaining arrabbiata sauce in microwave. Slice pie into wedges and serve with extra sauce.

Notes

To tone down the spiciness, substitute tomato sauce or your favorite jarred marinara sauce for the arrabbiata.
