Take-out Tuesday, Creamy Asparagus & Spaghetti Pie
When I saw a recipe for Spaghetti Pie over at Julie’s Creative Lifestyle, I was so intrigued…
I had never heard of Spaghetti Pie!
After I read Julie’s easy recipe here, I googled around and found tons of Spaghetti Pie recipes
I have made many casseroles with spaghetti as an ingredient, like Blue Ribbon Chicken Gratin
And Ready Spaghetti Bake
And Loaded Spinach Spaghetti Alfredo
And many versions of tetrazzini…
Chicken Tetrazzini, Italian Tetrazzini, Ham Tetrazzini
It was time to try Spaghetti Pie!
After reading several Spaghetti Pie recipes, I fashioned my own version
Tip: add cream cheese to any baked pasta dish to keep it moist and extra smooth. Add it to the hot, drained pasta and let it melt while you are prepping other things
I used Protein Plus Spaghetti and added diced, cooked asparagus for color and extra nutrition
The sauce is made with eggs and cream
Make sure the pasta has cooled before you add the sauce so the eggs don’t curdle
Gently stir everything together and put it in a sprayed springform pan or casserole dish
A springform pan makes serving so easy
Beneath the golden outside is a creamy moist interior
All you need is a crisp green salad to round out this comforting meal
Creamy Asparagus & Spaghetti Pie
Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti protein plus
- 12 spears asparagus, cooked crisp tender* and cut into small pieces
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano
- 1/2 cup grated sharp white cheddar
- S&P
- 1-2 oz. grated Parmesan for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and stir down. Cover and turn burner off. Pasta will be perfectly cooked in 10-15 minutes while you are doing other things.
- Drain pasta and put it in a large mixing bowl. Cube cream cheese and stir in into warm pasta to melt. Let pasta cool for 30-45 minutes. Stir to mix in cream cheese as thoroughly as possible.
- Put cheeses and asparagus into bowl with spaghetti. Season to taste with salt & pepper. The cheeses are salty, so factor that it. Beat eggs in a large measuring cup. Add eggs and pour over everything in the bowl. Gently stir with a fork, mixing everything together.
- Pour into a sprayed 8” spring form pan. Can be refrigerated at this point a baked later.
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and continue baking until everything is heated through. Let pie rest for 15 minutes. Loosen edges with a sharp knife and release from pan. Slice into wedges to serve.

I haven’t heard of spaghetti pie either Jenna but I love a springform pan Jenna! It makes everything so much easier!
Jenna, I haven’t heard of spaghetti pie but I’m sure this is delicious. We love asparagus and I have a pasta bake I make for Jim he loves so I should try this. All your creative dishes have me hungry this morning! Have a great day…….
Thanks Emily, not exactly diet food, but with a big salad all you need is a small slice 🙂
Looks yummy
I haven’t had spaghetti pie in ages and mine is a red sauce. This looks wonderful — divinely decadent (I love white sauces!). Printing out!
Thanks Jeanie, hope you enjoy!
Jenna, that is definitely comfort food on a plate! Looks fabulous, and we are pasta lovers!
It is a little decadent, but a small serving will fill you up!
Sounds great and easy enough.

Thank you Julie! I did love it, and believe it or not I was trying to make a small version and it turned out so big, but it was so moist and delicious! I reheated some the next day and microwaved it on day 4 and it was just as good as day 1! A definite keeper with a fun presentation, thank you so much!
Sounds amazing! I think I will try this. I bet it’s yummy the next day too. 😉
It is, in fact I had a piece 4 days later and heated it in the microwave and it tasted the same! Thanks Stacey~
