Mom always knew a good thing when she found it. This recipe's name originates as a combination of pizza and spaghetti. (Although people always think that you are mispronouncing spaghetti when you tell them what it is.) This is a popular casserole dish that works for adults and kids alike!
For the base/crust:
Break spaghetti into 2" pieces and cook. Drain and cool.
Preheat oven to 400F. In a large bowl beat eggs. Stir in milk, cheese, garlic and salt. Add spaghetti and stir thoroughly. Grease a 13" x 9" pan and spread spaghetti mixture. Bake 15 minutes and remove from oven.
Reduce heat to 350F.
Spread sauce on top of crust. Add other toppings. Bake for 30 minutes.
Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
The original recipe only calls for the cheese and pepperoni toppings. However, over the years I have regularly added mushroom. (I think it's best that you either use canned ones or if using fresh, saute them in butter first.) It really easy to add other toppings to your taste.
Another thing that makes this dish wonderful, is that it's easy to premake and put in the fridge until time for dinner. (You still do the first baking, but wait on the 2nd one. You will have to bake it longer since it will be cold.)
I'm also convinced that this is one of those dishes that tastes just as good the second time around reheated in the microwave - if you have any leftovers that is.
