Spaghetti Pie with Wild Mushrooms and Spinach
Ingredients
Unsalted butter,
softened, for brushing
1 pound spaghetti
3
tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion,
minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound mixed wild
mushrooms, such as cremini, porcini and stemmed shiitakes, cut into 1-inch
pieces
Kosher salt
Pepper
5 ounces baby spinach
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 cups shredded Fontina
cheese (10 ounces)
1 cup fresh ricotta
cheese
1 cup finely grated
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon finely
chopped sage
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°.
Tightly wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with foil and brush the
inside with butter. In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti until
barely al dente; drain.
In a large skillet, heat
2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over
moderately high heat, stirring, until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add the
mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until
browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Scrape into a bowl.
In the same skillet, heat
the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the spinach, season with salt and
pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until just wilted, about 2
minutes. Scrape into the mushrooms and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the
eggs with the milk. Add the spaghetti, mushroom mixture, 3 cheeses, sage,
thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper; mix well. Scrape into
the prepared pan and smooth the top. Set the pan on a baking sheet and bake for
about 35 minutes, until bubbling and the top is golden. Let stand for 15
minutes. Remove the ring, cut the pie into wedges and serve.
