Substitutions For Spaghetti Pie

  • Meat – Feel free to omit the ground beef for a vegetarian option. Or add more flavor by using ground Italian sausage, veal, or a mix. You could also chop up Italian meatballs to use in place of the ground beef.
  • Vegetables – Feel free to use another kind of bell pepper in place of the green pepper. You can also omit the onions if you’d like. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add in some sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, or olives.
  • Cheese – I don’t recommend leaving the parmesan out of the spaghetti mixture because it does add flavor and helps bind the spaghetti together so it holds it’s shape when sliced. However, you can omit the mozzarella on top. Freshly grated mozzarella will melt better than bagged shredded cheese because it doesn’t have a preservative coating on it. This is my favorite rotary grater – easy to use and clean!
  • Sauce – Try using my homemade marinara recipe if you aren’t a fan of store-bought. Also, I love mixing a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese into the sauce mixture to give it that baked ziti taste!
