Mama's Angel Hair Pie (Spaghetti Pie) for Two

MarraMamba's Note:

This is a nicely scaled down dish for two, can be scaled up too. Using angel hair pasta makes the "crust" special. From TOH. It also freezes well before baking

• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 3 ounces angel hair pasta
• 1 egg , beaten

• 1⁄3; cup sour cream
• ½ teaspoon italian seasoning
• ½ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese , shredded

Directions:

Doubled this recipe and glad I did as I enjoyed the leftovers the next day!!! Instead of using sausage, used some turkey pepperoni I had in the fridge. Also used pizza sauce instead of tomato sauce (no tomato sauce in the house??!!). Used low-fat sour cream. Thanks Marramamba! :)

Delicious and quick to prepare. I made this for two, and used MarraMamba's The Simplest Tomato Sauce Ever (Marcella Hazan) 273976. I used chicken and chives sausages, a recent great find from my local butcher. I used low-fat sour cream, but regular cheeses. As long as you're confident about your key ingredients - the sauce and sausage - then you'll love this dish. The only change I made was to add 3 cloves of chopped garlic to the chopped onion. The "crust" was great! Next time I'm making this at a weekend so that I can make a larger quantity in 2 servings lots to add to the freezer. Thanks for sharing this recipe, MarraMamba: we loved it! Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
