Spaghetti pizza

I made this pasta dish this week and my kids loved it. I served it with steamed broccoli.

The original recipe was quite different and had different kinds of cheese in and on the pizza. We do have a family member (no name needed) not crazy about cheese, so I kept it out. But you can always put some shredded mozzarella on top of the "pizza" before you take it out of the oven.

Ingredients:
1 package spaghetti
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil (or any liquid oil)
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
3 tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
fresh basil (if available)

In a pan, put a tablespoon of sunflower oil and add chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until they are transparent but not brown. Add the ground beef and cook until there is no juice left.

Take the skin off the tomatoes and chop them up while the ground beef is getting cooked (you can use a small can if you don't have fresh tomatoes. I had plenty at my house that day). Add the tomato paste and tomatoes to ground beef and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Add the dried oregano and finely chopped basil if you have any.

While you are making the beef mixture, cook the spaghetti based on box instructions. After draining, melt the butter and add back the spaghetti to the pot. After it is cooled off a little bit, add two beaten eggs to spaghetti and spread it to a circle pizza pan. Press on spaghetti and make it as flat as possible.

Then add the ground beef mixture on top and spread it to make it look like a pizza. Bake it for 20 minutes at 350 and you are done... If you like cheese you can add some mozzarella 10 minutes before taking the pan out of the oven.
