Empty-the-Fridge Spaghetti Pie

A couple of days ago we had spaghetti.  My husband made his favourite meat sauce recipe.  It goes like this:

Fry 1 1b ground beef in a pan, breaking it up as you go.  Add 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can tomato soup and 1 can tomato paste.  That's it.

I looked in the fridge today and saw a bunch of stuff that needed to be used.  Like cooked spaghetti, meat sauce, spinach dip, shredded cheese and cooked broccoli.  This is where it ended up.

Take the cooked spaghetti and mix in eggs, spinach dip (or sour cream) and parmesan or romano cheese. Prepare a pie plate with cooking spray and spread on the spaghetti mixture.

Put the chopped broccoli on top of the spaghetti "crust".

And then layer with meat (or tomato) sauce.

And finally top it off with shredded cheese (I used a pizza mix here) and sprinkle on some more parmesan or romano.

Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes.

2 cups cooked spaghetti
2 eggs
1/3 cup spinach dip (or sour cream)
1/3 cup parmesan or romano cheese
1 cup chopped cooked broccoli
1  1/2 cups meat (or tomato) sauce
1  1/2 cups shredded cheese
extra parmesan or romano

Kofka Meatballs with Spinach Dip

Kofka is often made on a skewer, but I find it easier to make it into meatballs. 

1  1/4 lbs ground beef
1/2 onion, finely chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato paste
3 tbsps parsley
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp freshly ground coriander seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
ground pepper to taste
pinch of cayenne
1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 egg

Mix all ingredients together and form into balls this size and put them on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake 375 F for 25 minutes.

It goes well with Rice Salad Middle Eastern-style
