Sauce

Topping

  • 1-1½ cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 slice tomato

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions for 1 minute less than al dente. Drain but do not rinse.
  • Place in medium mixing bowl. Stir in butter until melted. Beat eggs together in a small bowl and add to noodle mixture along with parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  • Spray a 9-10 in pie plate with cooking spray. Pour in noodle mixture and use the back of a spoon to form a crust. Set aside.
  • Prepare zucchini by thinly slicing and spreading on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Spray tops and bake for 15 minutes, keeping watch so they don't burn.
  • Save out 10-12 slices of zucchini and spread the remainder on top of spaghetti crust.
  • Set aside 1 slice of the tomato and dice the remainder. Press between paper towels to remove excessive moisture. Spread on top of zucchini.
  • In medium bowl, mix the ricotta and seasonings. Spread on top of veggies.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Saute onions for 2 minutes over medium high heat. Add ground turkey sausage and cook until no longer pink.
  • Stir in pasta sauce and cook until heated through. Spread over cheese layer on pie, leaving the edges uncovered.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Spread mozzarella cheese over sauce. Remove wet sections from tomato slice and place in the center of the pie. Circle with zucchini slices. Sprinkle with fresh basil.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes longer. Cool for 10 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
