Spaghetti Pie

This one is definitely not vegan.  Plenty of cheese in this one.

4 cups cooked spaghetti (1/2 box)
10 oz package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce, warmed
chopped parsley

Preheat oven to 350. Coat 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.

Stir the spaghetti, broccoli, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, egg and Italian seasoning together in a bowl. Scrape the mixture into the springform pan and level the top.

Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan about 5 minutes. Remove the side of the pan. Cut the pie into wedges and serve topped with marinara sauce.

* I decided to use fresh broccoli and it didn't cook well. If you choose to make this with fresh broccoli, you may want precook the broccoli a bit. This recipe didn't do much for me. it was OK but I'm not a huge fan of ricotta and this one seemed to have a bit much in it for my likely.  Paige wasn't a big fan either.  Ryan and Charlotte, well, they will eat anything :)
