parmesan cheese
2 beaten eggs


Put mixture into pie pan and press to form a crust.

Spread ricotta cheese on crust to form the first layer of "filling". I usually mix some italian spices into the ricotta first. Then top with the spaghetti meat sauce of your choice and sprinkle with mozzerella cheese.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until bubbly.

It is easier to control portions with this recipe because you cut the pie into sixths or eighths. Total carbs depends on the size of your pan, how thick you make your crust, and how much spaghetti sauce (and what kind) you use. IIRC, my total pie was 53 net carbs and I cut it into 6 pieces, with an estimated 9 carbs a piece.

Enjoy!

(Again, I no longer use Dreamsfield due to the spike in blood glucose I recorded.... boo! )
Love this idea! Question, though.......how much pasta are you using? I can't imagine a whole box of cooked Dreamfield's would fit in a pie plate....
